As far as I can see you are focussing the implementation on 64 bits
powerpc. This could also be implemented on 32 bits powerpc, for instance
the 8xx has MMU Access Protection Registers which can be used to define
16 domains and could I think be used for implementing protection keys.
Of course the challenge after that would be to find 4 spare PTE bits,
I'm sure we can find them on the 8xx, at least when using 16k pages we
have 2 bits already available, then by merging PAGE_SHARED and PAGE_USER
and by reducing PAGE_RO to only one bit we can get the 4 spare bits.
Therefore I think it would be great if you could implement a framework
common to both PPC32 and PPC64.
