Can we please put the implementations in the header so that they can be
inlined? Otherwise when the HW doesn't support MTE we'll always do a pointless
branch to the out-of-line implementation.

With that, we can mark them __always_inline to avoid weirdness with an inline
noinstr function.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.

Thanks,
Mark.
