However, such pointers were not allowed at the user-kernel syscall ABI boundary. With the Tagged Address ABI patchset, it is now possible to pass tagged pointers to the syscalls. Relax the requirements described in tagged-pointers.rst to be compliant with the behaviours guaranteed by the AArch64 Tagged Address ABI.
