That was my reasoning initially though 'tagged' in untagged_addr()
refers to some bits in the top part of the address and that will become
more common. 'Tagged' as a mapping attribute is specific to arm64 and
sparc for now.

That said, pgprot_mhp() is probably better as the core code cannot tell
whether the arch implementation wants the hotplugged memory tagged or
not. Similarly, we'll add a pgprot_vmalloc() at some point.
