Hi Dave, This generally looks good, but I have a few comments below.

Not a big deal either way, though.

Do we really need that? AFAICT, all other PROT_* definitions only have a single underscore, and the existing arch-specific flags are PROT_ADI on sparc, and PROT_SAO on powerpc.

What am I missing? Thanks, Mark.
