    mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch_validate_pkey() · 66d37570

    The syscall-level code is passed a protection key and need to
    return an appropriate error code if the protection key is bogus.
    We will be using this in subsequent patches.
    
    Note that this also begins a series of arch-specific calls that
    we need to expose in otherwise arch-independent code.  We create
    a linux/pkeys.h header where we will put *all* the stubs for
    these functions.
