Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 7e2cff42cf [PATCH] mm: add a note about partially hardcoded VM_* flags
Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect():

		if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) {

after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough.  Btw
Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf.

We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change
VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.
