I'd be keen on a couple of reserved __64s. Just in case...

It is a bit odd to require userspace to provide a page-aligned
addr/size, as it now has to find out about the kernel's page
size. MTE_GRANULE_SIZE-aligned values would make more sense. Is there
an underlying reason for this?

Is it actually safe to do this without holding any lock, without
checking anything against the mmu_notifier_seq? What if the pages are
being swapped out? Or the memslot removed from under your feet?

It looks... dangerous. Do you even want to allow this while vcpus are
actually running?
