[PATCH RFC 36/37] KVM: arm64: Disable MTE is tag storage is enabled

From: Alexandru Elisei
Date: Wed Aug 23 2023 - 09:19:25 EST


KVM allows MTE enabled VMs to be created when the backing memory is does
not have MTE enabled. Without changes to how KVM allocates memory for a
VM, it is impossible to discern when the corresponding tag storage needs to
be reserved.

For now, disable MTE in KVM if tag storage is enabled.
