_PAGE_DIRTY is 0x80, so this is also bit 7, thus the new comment is
wrong?

In the example, I use MSB-0 bit numbering (which I determined to be
correct in microblaze context eventually, but I got confused a couple a
times because it's very inconsistent). That should be MSB-0 bit 24.

Thanks, TIL microblaze uses IBM bit numbering...

I assume IBM bit numbering corresponds to MSB-0 bit numbering, correct?

Correct, as seen in s370 and PowerPC manuals...

I recall that I used the comment above "/* Definitions for MicroBlaze.
*/" as an orientation.

Indeed, that's where I noticed the "unconventional" numbering...

So ... either we adjust both or we leave it as is. (again, depends on
what the right thing to to is -- which I don't know :) )

It depends whether you want to match the hardware documentation,
or the Linux BIT() macro and friends...
