FWIW, are all architectures supposed to wire these new system calls up?
I decided to ignore these on s390 since we can't make any sane use of
them. However mips has them already wired up.
The only difference on s390 (and any other architecture without memory
protection keys with x86 like semantics) would be that pkey_alloc/pkey_free
will return -EINVAL instead of -ENOSYS and that we have a new mprotect
wrapper called pkey_mprotect, if being called with a pkey parameter of -1.
