Good idea, I was not aware of commit 1764c3edc668. I will fix it accordingly.

This is what I did in my patches I shared with Andrey. I suppose that since in
this version he introduced some functions that are needed in this file, he
reverted to the old name (mte-helper.h).

The result of the load should never be used since it is meaningful only if
system_supports_mte(). It should be only required for compilation purposes.

Said that, I think I like more your solution hence I am going to adopt it.

Same as above but I will use the orr in the next version.

The reason why it is different is that in this function extracting the tag from
the address makes sense only if irg is executed.

I can initialize addr to 0xf << 56 and make them the same.

Agree, will remove in the next version.

Ups, this is my fault, I just realized I missed to unstash this change. Will be
present in the next version.
