That is a possibility but limited in scope. An address range covered
by a single TTE can have large number of tags. Version tags are set on

64-bytes in a page. Also tags are set completely in userspace and no
transition occurs to kernel space, so kernel has no idea of what tags
have been set.

I have not found a way to query the MMU on tags.
To query the tag for a cache line, you just read it back with ldxa and
ASI_MCD_PRIMARY (ie, asi 0x90), basically the same way you stored the
tag in the first place.
Thanks, Rob. I just saw it while reading through the manual.
