Subject: [PATCH 7/9] generic syscalls: wire up memory protection keys syscalls


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

These new syscalls are implemented as generic code, so enable
them for architectures like arm64 which use the generic syscall
table.

According to Arnd:

	Even if the support is x86 specific for the forseeable
	future, it may be good to reserve the number just in
	case.  The other architecture specific syscall lists are
	usually left to the individual arch maintainers, most a
	lot of the newer architectures share this table.
