Would it not be better to add a boolean bit or byte to inidcate the crc

Ideally, though we don't have any spare bits to play with in MAXALIGN=4.
In the page header? There's plenty of free bits in pd_flags.
But isn't it a bit dangerous to have a single flag on the page
indicating whether the CRC is valid or not? Any corruption that flips
that bit would make the CRC check to be skipped.
