With set_fs() out of the picture, wouldn't it be sufficient to check
that bit #55 is clear? (the bit that selects between TTBR0 and TTBR1)
That would also remove the need to strip the tag from the address.

Something like

    asm goto("tbnz  %0, #55, %2     \n"
             "tbnz  %1, #55, %2     \n"
             :: "r"(addr), "r"(addr + size - 1) :: notok);
    return 1;
notok:
    return 0;

with an additional sanity check on the size which the compiler could
eliminate for compile-time constant values.
