I also tested the series.  The 64-bit binary works fine.  But,

This is failing to build the x86 selftests:

make: *** No rule to make target 'protection_keys.c', needed by
'/home/daveh/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86/protection_keys_32'.  Stop.

I think you just forgot to remove the binary from the x86 Makefile.

Which reminds me: This removes the 32-bit binary.  x86 32-bit binaries
exercise different paths than the 64-bit ones, so we like to have both.
 Although it isn't *essential* it would really be nice to keep the
32-bit binary.
