The motivation for having a common interface between x86 and others is:
1. Common permission checking for an LSM (future patches)
2. Common userspace

This leaves the arch_prctl interface intact, so older userspaces will
continue to work. However, for item 1, when we introduce LSM hooks, they
will need to reside on both the prctl and arch_prctl interfaces but will
both call into the LSM with all of the same permission bits and checks.

The SE Linux patches will follow these, after I address any feedback on
these patches, since they can stand alone.
