Well in theory I still think it would be cleanest to modify buffer to
play more nicely with it. But maybe that ends up being harder to
distinguish the 3 cases of attached metadata on the page. I don't know,
you haven't posted any isofs code so either way it is inappropriate to
use up this extra page flag here.

Is isofs cache worth a page flag?
