[PATCH] unpaged: PG_reserved bad_page
It used to be the case that PG_reserved pages were silently never freed, but in 2.6.15-rc1 they may be freed with a "Bad page state" message. We should work through such cases as they appear, fixing the code; but for now it's safer to issue the message without freeing the page, leaving PG_reserved set.
