Only 4bits are allocated in the vma flags to hold 16 keys. This is
sufficient on x86. PowerPC supports 32 keys, which needs 5bits.
Allocate an  additional bit.

That new line boils down to:

		[ilog2(0)]	= "",

on x86.  It wasn't *obvious* to me that it is OK to do that.  The other
possibly undefined bits (VM_SOFTDIRTY for instance) #ifdef themselves
out of this array.

I would just be a wee bit worried that this would overwrite the 0 entry
("??") with "".

Yes it would :-( and could potentially break anything that depends on
0th entry being "??"

Is the following fix acceptable?

#if VM_PKEY_BIT4
                [ilog2(VM_PKEY_BIT4)]   = "",
#endif

Yep, I think that works for me.
