With the relaxed ABI proposed in this set, it is now possible to pass tagged pointers to the syscalls, when these pointers are in memory ranges obtained by an anonymous (MAP_ANONYMOUS) mmap(). Relax the requirements described in tagged-pointers.txt to be compliant with the behaviours guaranteed by the ARM64 Tagged Address ABI.
