During the rework, I realized that the description of mte_init_tags() in this
patch refers to mte_enable_kernel(). In fact the only thing that mte_init_tags()
does is to configure the GCR_EL1 register, hence my preference would be to keep
all the code that deals with such a register in one patch.

What is your preference?
