x86, mpx: Add MPX-specific mmap interface
We have chosen to perform the allocation of bounds tables in kernel (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables") and to mark these VMAs with VM_MPX. However, there is currently no suitable interface to actually do this. Existing interfaces, like do_mmap_pgoff(), have no way to set a modified ->vm_ops or ->vm_flags and don't hold mmap_sem long enough to let a caller do it. This patch wraps mmap_region() and hold mmap_sem long enough to make the modifications to the VMA which we need. Also note the 32/64-bit #ifdef in the header. We actually need to do this at runtime eventually. But, for now, we don't support running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels. Support for this will come in later patches.
