For what? The three lines of comment in page-flags.h? ack :)
Manipulating page->_count directly is considered poor form. Don't
blame us if we break your code ;)
Actually, the manipulation in realmode_get_page() duplicates the
existing get_page_unless_zero() and the one in realmode_put_page()
could perhaps be placed in mm.h with a suitable name and some
documentation. That would improve your form and might protect the code
from getting broken later on.
