      Summary

      Change AIX-specific flags intended for diagnostics to be declared Diagnostic and not Product.

      Problem

      Most of these platform specific flags were never intended for official support and are only there to diagnose issues and find workarounds, but they were declared as Product flags.

      Solution

      Change the flag kind to Diagnostic.

      Specification

      Change these flags from regular product to diagnostic:

      • AllowExtshm
      • OptimizePollingPageLocation
      • Use64KPages
      • UseExplicitCommit
