Today mprotect is implemented to support legacy mprotect behavior plus an extension for memory protection keys. Make it more generic so that it can support additional extensions in the future. This is done is preparation for adding a new system call for memory encyption keys. The intent is that the new encrypted mprotect will be another extension to legacy mprotect.
