I was thinking to the end of the virtual address space scenario and I forgot
that if I use a condition like `_addr == _end` the tagging operation overflows
to the first granule of the next allocation. This disrupts tagging accesses for
that memory area hence I think that `_addr < _end` is the way to go.
