PAC and BTI are ARM architecture extensions.  PAC uses a tag in pointers
to sign and verify them, presenting a barrier to ROP, and when BTI is
active only specific instructions can be branched to.  Since PAC
modifies pointers when it is active the unwinder has to undo the tagging
to understand what's being pointed to, that's already there.
