Subject[RFC][PATCH 1/4] x86, mpx: introduce per-mm MPX table size tracking
From
Date

Larger address spaces mean larger MPX bounds table sizes. This
tracks which size tables we are using.

"MAWA" is what the hardware documentation calls this feature:
MPX Address-Width Adjust. We will carry that nomenclature throughout
this series.

The new field will be optimized and get packed into 'bd_addr' in a later
patch. But, leave it separate for now to make the series simpler.
