Do you _really_ need an absolutely new, unshared page flag?
The zbud code doesn't really look like it uses any of the space in
'struct page'.

I think you could pretty easily alias PG_zbud=PG_slab, then use the
page->{private,slab_cache} (or some other unused field) in 'struct page'
to store a cookie to differentiate slab and zbud pages.
