mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Store protection bits in high VMA flags
vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags on 32-bit architectures. The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit platforms. We've steered away from using the unused high VMA bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it on 32-bit. Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on 32-bit CPUs. This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option to make them available. Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly call them "UL".
