[PATCH 1/7] powerpc: Add framework for Kernel Userspace Protection

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy at c-s.fr>

This patch adds a skeleton for Kernel Userspace Protection
functionnalities like Kernel Userspace Access Protection and
Kernel Userspace Execution Prevention

The subsequent implementation of KUAP for radix makes use of a MMU
feature in order to patch out assembly when KUAP is disabled or
unsupported.  This won't work unless there's an entry point for
KUP support before the feature magic happens, so for PPC64
setup_kup() is called early in setup.

On PPC32, feature_fixup is done too early to allow the same.
