But that goes wrong if someone ever wants to untag a kernel address and
not use the result for access_ok().

I'd feel better about something like:

	s64 __addr = (addr);
	s64 __sign = __addr;

	__sign >>= 63;
	__sign &= lam_untag_mask;
	__addr &= lam_untag_mask;
	__addr |= __sign;

	__addr;

Which simply extends bit 63 downwards -- although possibly there's an
easier way to do that, this is pretty gross.
