As Will said, this doesn't look right. Why do you need TASK_SIZE_64 to
be valid?

Just trying to understand: if adds does not set the C flag, we go on and
do the ccmp. If addr + size <= addr_limit, "cset ls" sets the flag
variable. If addr + size actually sets the C flag, we need to make sure
that "cset ls" doesn't trigger, which would mean to set C flag and clear
Z flag. So why do you change the ccmp flags from #2 to #3? It looks to
me like #2 is enough.
