Preliminary version of memory protection patchset, including a sample use
case, turning into write-rare the IMA measurement list.

I haven't looked at the patches yet, but I see a significant issue
from the subject lines. "prmem" is very similar to "pmem"
(persistent memory) and that's going to cause confusion. Especially
if people start talking about prmem and pmem in the context of write
protect pmem with prmem...

Naming is hard :/

yes, at some point I had to go from rare-write to write-rare because I 
realized that the acronym "rw" was likely to be interpreted as "read/write"

I propose to keep prmem for the time being, just to avoid adding extra 
changes that are not functional.
Once the code has somewhat settled down, I can proceed with the 
renaming. In the meanwhile, a better name could be discussed.

For example, would "prmemory" be sufficiently unambiguous?
