How did you generate this list and who will keep it up to date? How do you
know you haven't missed anything?
What about shared memory system calls: shmat, shmdt? The latest "arm64: untag
user pointers passed to the kernel" series doesn't untag these, thus we should
indicate here that these too are no supported.
Yes. We dropped them from a previous version of the series but they've
never been documented. I'll add something (unless someone has a real
use-case for using tags with shmat/shmdt).
