It is part of the initial implementation. I looked for
places to split the implementation into smaller,
reviewable patches, hence this split. None of it gets
built until the CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MKTME is introduced
in a later patch.

The encrypt_mprotect() patchset is ordered like this:
1) generalize mprotect to support the mktme extension
2) wire up encrypt_mprotect()
3) implement encrypt_mprotect()
4) keep reference counts on encryption keys (was VMAs)
5) (this patch) restrict to anonymous VMAs.

I thought Patch 5) was a small, but meaningful split. It
accentuates the fact that MKTME is restricted to anonymous
memory.

Alas, I want to make it logical to review, so I'll move it.
