But one bikeshedding question.
why we need to care about the different settings for tag checking when
we use uaccess_disable_privileged()?

IIUC, the reason we uses to uaccess_disaable_privileged() to access
user memory with copy_from/to_user() and etc.
But, although tag check fault happens in kernel side,
It seems to be handled by fixup code if user address is wrong.

Am I missing something?
