From: Peter Zijstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In order to create VMAs that are not accessible to userspace create a new
VM_NOUSER flag. This can be used in conjunction with
install_special_mapping() to inject 'kernel' data into the userspace map.
Similar to how arch_vm_get_page_prot() allows adding _PAGE_flags to
pgprot_t, introduce arch_vm_get_page_prot_excl() which masks
_PAGE_flags from pgprot_t and use this to implement VM_NOUSER for x86.
