mm: Allow architectures to define additional protection bits 



This patch allows architectures to define functions to deal with
additional protections bits for mmap() and mprotect().

arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() maps additonal protection bits to vm_flags
arch_vm_get_page_prot() maps additional vm_flags to the vma's vm_page_prot
arch_validate_prot() checks for valid values of the protection bits

Note: vm_get_page_prot() is now pretty ugly, but the generated code
should be identical for architectures that don't define additional
protection bits.
