Subject[PATCH 03/31] x86, pkeys: Add Kconfig option
From
Date

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

I don't have a strong opinion on whether we need a Kconfig prompt
or not. Protection Keys has relatively little code associated
with it, and it is not a heavyweight feature to keep enabled.
However, I can imagine that folks would still appreciate being
able to disable it.

Note that, with disabled-features.h, the checks in the code
for protection keys are always the same:

cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PKU)

With the config option disabled, this essentially turns into an
#ifdef.

We will hide the prompt for now.
