Unfornately right now I haven't a real hardware with MTE which can run the latest
kernel. but i have written a RFC, it will be nice to get someone to test it. Let
me figure out if we can get someone :-)
[RFC PATCH] arm64: mm: swap: save and restore mte tags for large folios
This patch makes MTE tags saving and restoring support large folios,
then we don't need to split them into base pages for swapping on
ARM64 SoCs with MTE.
