The patch-series enhances memory protection keys feature.

The patch(1)  introduces  an  additional  vma bit to support 32
pkeys.  PowerPC supports 32 pkeys.

The patch(2,3)  introduces a new interface arch_pkeys_enabled(),
this  interface  can   be used by arch-neutral code to display
protection key value in smap.

The patch(4) introduces a syfs interface, to display the static
attributes  of the protection key. Eg: max number of keys.

The last two patches, (5,6) update documentation.

A separate patch series that enhances selftest will follow. The
entire  patch  series  that  enables  pkeys  on  powerpc  is at 
https://github.com/rampai/memorykeys.git memkey.v9-rc1

Testing:
-------
This  patches are tested on powerpc platform using a
enhaced set of selftests.
Could not test on x86 since I do not have access to
one with pkey support.

History:
-------
version v3:
	(1) sysfs interface - thanks Thiago.
	(2) Documentation update.

version v2:
	(1) Documentation   is   updated   to  better 
		capture the semantics.
	(2) introduced   arch_pkeys_enabled() to find
       		if an arch enables pkeys.  Correspond-
		ing change in logic that displays key
		value in smaps.
	(3) code  rearranged  in many places based on
       		comments from   Dave Hansen,   Balbir,
	       	Anshuman.	
version v1: Initial version
