(FWIW, arch_pkeys_enabled() looks like the hook for the arch to tell
the pkeys generic code whether the arch support is there, so I guess
the proposed change looks sensible to me.

For the arch backend code that is agnostic to whether pkeys is actually
in use, system_supports_poe() seems to be the more appropriate check.)
