That's a good point, and I was pondering whether that would be a better
approach. The only advantage to returning the actual PAG number that I
can think of is that it allows one to remember it and later determine
whether one is still in the same PAG, but off the top of my head I can't
think of a case when I'd want to do that.
k_haspag() would be fine with me as well, and would simplify the interface
(no need for a uint32_t type or the K_NOPAG define).
