Gentle ping in case of forgotten.
> ARMv8.5 based processors introduce the Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) feature.
> MTE is built on top of the ARMv8.0 virtual address tagging TBI
> (Top Byte Ignore) feature and allows software to access a 4-bit
> allocation tag for each 16-byte granule in the physical address space.
> A logical tag is derived from bits 59-56 of the virtual
> address used for the memory access. A CPU with MTE enabled will compare
> the logical tag against the allocation tag and potentially raise an
> tag check fault on mismatch, subject to system registers configuration.
>
> Since ARMv8.9, FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY can be used to restrict raise of tag
> check fault on store operation only.
> For this, application can use PR_MTE_STORE_ONLY flag
> when it sets the MTE setting with prctl().
>
> This feature omits tag check for fetch/read operation.
> So it might be used not only debugging purpose but also be used
> by application requiring strong memory safty in normal env.
>
> Since v1:
> - add doc to elf_hwcaps.rst
> - add MTE_STORE_ONLY hwcap test
>
> Since v2:
> - Rebase to 6.15.-rc1
