[PATCH] mm: add a note about partially hardcoded VM_* flags
Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect():
if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) {
after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough. Btw
Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf.
We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change
VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.
