I looked for places to split the implementation into smaller, reviewable patches, hence this split. None of it gets built until the CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MKTME is introduced in a later patch. The encrypt_mprotect() patchset is ordered like this: 1) generalize mprotect to support the mktme extension 2) wire up encrypt_mprotect() 3) implement encrypt_mprotect() 4) keep reference counts on encryption keys (was VMAs) 5) (this patch) restrict to anonymous VMAs. I thought Patch 5) was a small, but meaningful split. It accentuates the fact that MKTME is restricted to anonymous memory. Alas, I want to make it logical to review, so I'll move it.
