Subject[PATCH] x86, powerpc : pkey-mprotect must allow pkey-0
Date
Once an address range is associated with an allocated pkey, it cannot be
reverted back to key-0. There is no valid reason for the above behavior. On
the contrary applications need the ability to do so.

The patch relaxes the restriction.

Tested on powerpc and x86_64.
