Very nitpicky but this is only required for FEAT_MTE2 and above, plain
FEAT_MTE doesn't have these traps.  I don't know that this is a thing
that anyone's actually implemented and from v8.7 on it's not permitted
but the above isn't strictly true if someone did for some reason have
the most basic version.
