We need the pagecache tags to be exported to userspace later in this

NACK.
The radix tree tags are deeply internal implementation details.
They are an artifact of the current mark-and-sweep writeback
algorithm, and as such should never, ever be exposed to userspace,
let alone fixed in an ABI we need to support forever more.
Cheers,
Dave.
