Currently sys_pkey_create() provides the ability to disable read and write permission on the key, at creation. powerpc has the hardware support to disable execute on a pkey as well.This patch enhances the interface to let disable execute at key creation time. x86 does not allow this. Hence the next patch will add ability in x86 to return error if PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE is specified.
