Just a notification..
from 2.6.14

PageUncached      375 include/asm-ia64/uaccess.h 	if (PageUncached(page))
PageUncached      393 include/asm-ia64/uaccess.h 	if (PageUncached(page))

This is used by /dev/mem


PageChecked       196 fs/afs/dir.c   		if (!PageChecked(page))
PageChecked       169 fs/ext2/dir.c  		if (!PageChecked(page))
PageChecked      1372 fs/ext3/inode.c 	if (!page_has_buffers(page) || PageChecked(page)) {
PageChecked      1441 fs/ext3/inode.c 	WARN_ON(PageChecked(page));
PageChecked      2350 fs/reiserfs/inode.c 	int checked = PageChecked(page);
PageChecked      2853 fs/reiserfs/inode.c 	WARN_ON(PageChecked(page));

This is used by fs, now.
