This is unbelievable junk...
How about something like:
u32 update_pkey_reg(u32 pk_reg, int pkey, unsigned int flags)
{
int pkey_shift = pkey * PKR_BITS_PER_PKEY;
pk_reg &= ~(((1 << PKR_BITS_PER_PKEY) - 1) << pkey_shift);
if (flags & PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS)
pk_reg |= PKR_AD_BIT << pkey_shift;
if (flags & PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE)
pk_reg |= PKR_WD_BIT << pkey_shift;
return pk_reg;
}
Then we at least have a little clue wtf the thing does.. Yes I started
with a rename and then got annoyed at the implementation too.
