[PATCH v2 RESEND] Documentation/protection-keys: Mark as available on AMD

From: Daniel Tang <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-15 02:06:23
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

This is shown on page 78 of AMD document 55898 "Preliminary Processor
Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 19h Model 01h, Revision B1
Processors Volume 1 of 2" for Zen 3.

I tested this on my 5900X via the program in pkeys(7) and
`grep ospke /proc/cpuinfo`.
