Re: [PATCH v13 1/7] arm64: mte: Add asynchronous mode support

MTE provides an asynchronous mode for detecting tag exceptions. In
particular instead of triggering a fault the arm64 core updates a
register which is checked by the kernel after the asynchronous tag
check fault has occurred.

Add support for MTE asynchronous mode.

The exception handling mechanism will be added with a future patch.

Note: KASAN HW activates async mode via kasan.mode kernel parameter.
The default mode is set to synchronous.
The code that verifies the status of TFSR_EL1 will be added with a
future patch.
