Thanks Khalid. I missed that sparc does not enable HAVE_GENERIC_GUP, so
you fix this case here. If we add the generic untagged_addr() macro in
the generic code, I think sparc can start making use of it rather than
open-coding the shifts.

There are a few other other places where tags can leak and the core code
would get confused (for example, madvise()). I presume your user space
doesn't exercise them. On arm64 we plan to just allow the C library to
tag any new memory allocation, so those core code paths would need to be
covered.

And similarly, devices, IOMMU, any DMA would ignore tags.
