 the entire memory slot size.  Any object may back this memory, including
 anonymous memory, ordinary files, and hugetlbfs.
 
+On architectures that support a form of address tagging, userspace_addr must
+be an untagged address.

 It is recommended that the lower 21 bits of guest_phys_addr and userspace_addr
 be identical.  This allows large pages in the guest to be backed by large
 pages in the host.
