>Description:
Both ptrace() in kern/sys_process.c and linux_ptrace() in
i386/linux/linux_ptrace.c need to do permission checking.
This calls for a support function that does the job and is
used by both ptrace() implementations. If more ptrace()
implementations are written (other emulation layers), then
this obviously increases in importance.
