I know all your hardware doesn't support it. :)
So, for instance, if you are running on a new POWER9 with radix page
tables, you will just always output "ProtectionKey: 0" in every VMA,
regardless?

Now that we have two architectures, is there a strong reason we can't
just have an arch_pkeys_enabled(), and stick the seq_printf() back in
generic code?
