On arm64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit has been set since Linux 3.x hence the userspace (EL0) is allowed to set a non-zero value in the top byte but the resulting pointers are not allowed at the user-kernel syscall ABI boundary.
This patch sets ARM64_AT_FLAGS_SYSCALL_TBI (bit[0]) in the AT_FLAGS to advertise the relaxation of the ABI to the userspace.
