initially it will likely be limited to 24 bits.  but there is no reason
that pags could take advantage of a full 32 bits on linux.  since the
pag information wont be stored in groups you wont need to double check
the validity of the pag number you decode.

It seems fairly obvious that it should be a pointer.

A pointer to what? A PAG isn't an object; it's a set of processes. There's no object associated with a PAG; it's just a number, which happens to be used to label a variety of other data.

There's another way to handle this, though: never let anything other
than a PAG appear.

Yes, that's a possibility.
