Once an address range is associated with an allocated pkey, it cannot be

mprotect without a key does not necessarily use key 0, e.g. if protection keys are used to emulate page protection flag combination which is not directly supported by the hardware.

Therefore, it seems to me that filtering out non-allocated keys is the right thing to do.
