^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is a small bug here.
On a KVM guest or a LPAR, if the device tree
does not expose pkeys, the pkey-subsystem must be disabled.
Unfortunately, the code above blindly sets the pkeys_total to 32.
This confuses pkey_mmu_enabled() into returning true. Because of this
bug the guest errorneously enables pkey-subsystem.
The fix is to delete the code marked above.
