Just one more suggestion that occurred to me later:

"check_memtag_addr" is a bit vague: what does it check? This confused me
a bit when I was reading the code with these patches
applied. Alternatives I can think of are "is_addr_tagged", or
"tagged_address_p".

I'm not too fond of the "_p" suffix, but it has the advantage of being
consistent with the existing gdbarch hook so it may be preferable in
this case.

Ah, one other thing that just occurred to me: I think this warrants an
entry in gdb/NEWS.
