Using bit 4 divides the space of available bits strangely.  Use bit
31 instead so that we have a better chance of keeping flag and mode
bits separate in the long run.

And what if we are out of 32 bits for storing both mode and flags? :)
Well, yes, very unlikely, but I did it that way exactly so that
we can eventually promote to 64bit variable.
Doesn't matter at all, of course. Let it be any way you like.
