PR_GET_SPARC_ADICAPS

Put this into a new ELF auxiliary vector entry via ARCH_DLINFO.

So now all that's left is supposedly the TAG stuff, please explain
that to me so I can direct you to the correct existing interface to
provide that as well.

Really, try to avoid prtctl, it's poorly typed and almost worse than
ioctl().


The two remaining operations I am looking at are:

1. Is PSTATE.mcde bit set for the process? PR_SET_SPARC_ADI provides this in its return value in the patch I sent.

2. Is TTE.mcd set for a given virtual address? PR_GET_SPARC_ADI_STATUS provides this function in the patch I sent.

Setting and clearing version tags can be done entirely from userspace:

        while (addr < end) {
                asm volatile(
                        "stxa %1, [%0]ASI_MCD_PRIMARY\n\t"
                        :
                        : "r" (addr), "r" (version));
                addr += adicap.blksz;
        }
so I do not have to add any kernel code for tags.

Thanks,
Khalid
