It's more about not relaxing the ABI to accept non-zero top-byte unless we have a use-case for it. For mmap() etc., I don't think that's needed but if you think otherwise, please raise it. > > > 2.

A TIF flag would do but I'd say leave it out for now (default opted in) until we figure out the best way to do this (can be a patch on top of this series). Thanks. -- Catalin
