powerpc: track allocation status of all pkeys
Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys. On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits. Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys. This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free. Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.
