Subject: [GIT PULL] KEYS: Make perm request flags available to security modules


Hi Linus,

Can you pull this pair of patches please?  They move the flags that are used
to request specific permissions to a more public header file so that they can
then be used by Smack (and other security modules).

The flags for requesting permissions on keys are not the same as the flags in
the permissions mask on a key (the latter has four sets that interact).

Note that the flags have to be renamed so that they don't conflict with
input symbols (eg. keyboard key names).

David
