Notes:
v7:
- Binutils gained initial support for MTE in 2.32.0. However, a late
architecture addition (LDGM/STGM) is only supported in the newer
2.32.x and 2.33 versions. Change the AS_HAS_MTE option to also check
for stgm in addition to .arch armv8.5-a+memtag.
v6:
- Remove select ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_2, no longer defined.
v5:
- Remove duplicate ARMv8.5 menu entry.
v4:
- select ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_2.
- remove ARCH_NO_SWAP.
- default y.
