It was so slow to emulate that I couldn't finish booting.

However, looking at my qemu scripts, it seems I may have solved this at
some point. I remembered wrong! I can test MTE. :P

This is what I'm using currently:

        -cpu max,pauth-impdef=on \
        -machine virtualization=true \
        -machine virt,gic-version=max,mte=on \

It seems PAC was the issue. Using "pauth-impdef=on" solved it. "The
architected QARMA5 and QARMA3 algorithms have good cryptographic
properties, but can be quite slow to emulate."

I will go test MTE with this series...
