           MEMF_PUBLIC is so badly defined that most people use it
   incorrectly...  either that or allocate all of their memory
   MEMF_PUBLIC.  It has essentially become a random flag and as such
   should be phased out (with the bit eternally reserved to mean
   nothing).

Indeed.  Certainly a thought to consider.  But, that will annoy many
people who've been including it all this time "for future
compatibility"...  :-)
