Subject: [PATCH 08/10] mm: update fork mm->flags initialisation to use bitmap
We now need to account for flag initialisation on fork. We retain the
existing logic as much as we can, but dub the existing flag mask legacy.
These flags are therefore required to fit in the first 32-bits of the flags
field.
However, further flag propagation upon fork can be implemented in mm_init()
on a per-flag basis.
We ensure we clear the entire bitmap prior to setting it, and use
__mm_flags_get_word() and __mm_flags_set_word() to manipulate these legacy
fields efficiently.
