The reserved keys cannot be determined
statically. It depends on the platform and the key info exported to us
by the device-tree. Hence it cannot be macro'd.
One of the subsequent patch, reads the device tree and sets pkeys_total
appropriately. FYI.
BTW: key 0 is reserved by the ISA. key 1 is reserved, but its nebulous.
There is a programming note in the ISA to avoid key 1. Also testing
and experimentation with key 1 lead to unpredicatable behavior on
powervm. Key 31 may or may not be used by the hypervisor. The device
tree has to be referred to determine that.
Bottomline, the mask can be determined only during runtime.
