Yeah, sorry about that. Because the MTE part of the patches was still
awaiting review, I thought it would be better to land the bitmap API
separately, but as you pointed out there should be at least one user
for it, which it wouldn't have in that case.

I don't have a strong preference about whether to submit the patches
before or after the end of year - in fact I don't think they are
urgent enough, and we'd better postpone them till January.

So unless Alexander has urgent fixes depending on my bitmap patches,
I'd suggest waiting till they are taken via the arm64 tree.
