Subject: [PATCH 07/12] mm: Pass the 4-bit protection key in via PROT_ bits to syscalls


If a system call takes a PROT_{NONE,EXEC,WRITE,...} argument,
this adds support to it to take a protection key.

	mmap()
	mrprotect()
	drivers/char/agp/frontend.c's ioctl(AGPIOC_RESERVE)

This does not include direct support for shmat() since it uses
a diffferent set of permission bits.  You can use mprotect()
after the attach to assign an attched SHM segment a protection
key.
