[PATCH v7 22/29] arm64: mte: ptrace: Add PTRACE_{PEEK,POKE}MTETAGS support

Hi Catalin,

There has been changes to GDB's/LLDB's side to incorporate a tag type 
into the peek/poke requests. This is an attempt to anticipate required 
support for other tag types, like CHERI's tags. Those are somewhat 
different from MTE's tags.

The core file design for storing tags, which is in progress and 
currently in my court, is also taking into account other types of tags.

Given the above, should we consider passing a type to the kernel ptrace 
requests as well?

Also, since the ptrace requests would have to handle different types of 
tags, should we rename PEEKMTETAGS/POKEMTETAGS to PEEKTAGS/POKETAGS 
instead and make those requests generic?

Regards,
Luis
