PKS allows kernel users to define domains of page mappings which have additional protections beyond the paging protections.
Add an API to allocate, use, and free a protection key which identifies such a domain. Export 5 new symbols pks_key_alloc(), pks_mknoaccess(), pks_mkread(), pks_mkrdwr(), and pks_key_free(). Add 2 new macros; PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(key) and _PAGE_PKEY(pkey).
Update the protection key documentation to cover pkeys on supervisor pages.

This is due mainly to the fact that PKS may not be +available on all arch's.

Therefore, the user can depend on access being +disabled when pks_key_alloc() returns a key and the user should remove mappings +from the domain (remove the pkey from the PTE) prior to calling pks_key_free(). + +It should be noted that the underlying WRMSR(MSR_IA32_PKRS) is not serializing +but still maintains ordering properties similar to WRPKRU.
