Yes, this code runs on mprotect and mmap syscalls if the memory is
requested to have execute but not read nor write permissions.

Ok. Ram had asked me to suggest a way to optimize the SPR reads and
writes and I came up with the patch below. Do you think it's worth it?
The patch applies on top of this series, but if Ram includes it I think
he would break it up and merge it into the other patches.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Cache protection key registers in
__execute_only_pkey
Pass around a struct with the contents of AMR, IAMR and AMOR, as well as
flags indicating whether those fields hold valid values and whether they
should be committed back to the registers.
