Thanks for the heads up - I'll return 'false' to avoid regressing that.

Ok, I have to admit to not fully understanding the sanitised register
code - but wouldn't this expose higher MTE values if all CPUs support
it, even though the host doesn't know what a hypothetical 'MTE4' adds?
Or is there some magic in the sanitising that caps the value to what the
host knows about?

Thanks,

Steve
