Is there any chance that this can be used for the last bytes of the
virtual address space? This might need to change to `_addr == _end` if
that is possible, otherwise it'll terminate early in that case.

Theoretically it is a possibility. I will change the condition and add a note
for that.

I was thinking to the end of the virtual address space scenario and I forgot
that if I use a condition like `_addr == _end` the tagging operation overflows
to the first granule of the next allocation. This disrupts tagging accesses for
that memory area hence I think that `_addr < _end` is the way to go.
