+Memory Protection Keys for Userspace (PKU aka PKEYs) is a feature
+which is found on Intel's Skylake "Scalable Processor" Server CPUs.
+It will be avalable in future non-server parts.

+For anyone wishing to test or use this feature, it is available in
+Amazon's EC2 C5 instances and is known to work there using an Ubuntu
+17.04 image.
 
 Memory Protection Keys provides a mechanism for enforcing page-based
