When protection bits are changed on a VMA, some of the architecture
specific flags should be cleared as well. An examples of this are the
PKEY flags on x86. This patch expands the current code that clears
PKEY flags for x86, to support similar functionality for other
architectures as well.

Shouldn't this be defining

# define VM_ARCH_CLEAR	ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS

on x86?

ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS is used by x86 as well as powerpc. On those two 
architectures VM_FLAGS_CLEAR will end up being ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS and 
thus current behavior will be retained. Defining VM_ARCH_CLEAR to be 
ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS on x86 will just result in VM_FLAGS_CLEAR to be 
(ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS | ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS) which is superfluous.
