Even unknown flags should be passed to %pGp so that we can test what it
does with them (today: nothing).

Do we even need 'page_flags'? Can't we do everything on 'flags' directly?

I have to say that the meaning of "flags" and "page_flags" variable
is far from clear [*] It would be worth documentation how they are
supposed to be used.

I am going to comment more on this in the 5th patch.

[*] Shame on me. I did not pay much attention to the test code
