write_pkru() was originally used just to write to the PKRU register. It was mercifully short and sweet and was not out of place in pgtable.h with some other pkey-related code. But, later work included a requirement to also modify the task XSAVE buffer when updating the register. This really is more related to the XSAVE architecture than to paging. Move the read/write_pkru() to asm/pkru.h. pgtable.h won't miss them.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
