I still don't like it. :)

I'll also be much happier when there's a proper changelog to accompany
this which also spells out the alternatives any why they suck so much.

My inner compiler doesn't think this will compile:

	( | shstk_vm_prot_bits(prot))

Why do you need to filter PROT_SHSTK twice.  Won't the prot passed in
here be filtered by arch_validate_prot()?

IMNHO, this is eminently more readable if you do:

#define arch_calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key)	\
		(shstk_vm_prot_bits(prot))	\
		  pkey_vm_prot_bits(prot, key))

BTW, can these be static inlines?  I forget if I had a good reason for
making them #defines.

I generally like to make the common case dirt simple to understand.
That would probably be:

	unsigned long supported = PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE |
				  PROT_EXEC | PROT_SEM;

	if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) && (prot & PROT_SHSTK)) {
		supported |= PROT_SHSTK;
		// Comment about why SHSTK and WRITE
		// are mutually exclusive.

		supported &= ~PROT_WRITE;
	}

Why?

You can also save a couple of lines there.  The two conditions are
pretty small.
