[PATCH v10 02/27] mm, powerpc, x86: introduce an additional vma bit for powerpc pkey

Fri Jan 19 12:50:23 AEDT 2018


Currently only 4bits are allocated in the vma flags to hold 16
keys. This is sufficient for x86. PowerPC  supports  32  keys,
which needs 5bits. This patch allocates an  additional bit.
