Well x86 predicates it based on availability of X86_FEATURE_OSPKE.

powerpc doesn't need that check or any similar check. So trying to
generalize the code does not save much IMHO.

maybe have a seperate inline function that does
seq_printf(m, "ProtectionKey: %8u\n", vma_pkey(vma));
and is called from x86 and powerpc's arch_show_smap()?
At least will keep the string format captured in
one single place.

thoughts?
