I wonder if the KPF_* defined in

        include/uapi/linux/kernel-page-flags.h

fit your needs. These are kernel page flags exported to the user space
and will be maintained stable and immune to kconfig changes. You can
find use examples of them in

        fs/proc/page.c
        tools/vm/page-types.c

Thanks,
Fengguang
