From the Intel manual, it did not seem that pkey support was x64 only.

The PKRU is updated in copy_fpregs_to_sigframe(), right after xsave_to_user_sigframe().
But the code that decides or cares about what pkru is written to the sigframe is handle_signal(), so
it seemed cleaner to do those checks there and pass in pkru as a parameter down the stack.
