If ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is enabled, kexec will scan all non-reserved memblocks to find a suitable location for copying the kernel image. The kernel image, once loaded, cannot be moved to another location in physical memory. The initialization code for the tag storage reserves the memblocks for the tag storage pages, which means kexec will not use them, and the tag storage pages can be migrated at any time, which is the desired behaviour. However, if ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is not selected, kexec will not skip a region unless the memory resource has the IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED flag, which isn't currently set by the initialization code. Make ARM64_MTE_TAG_STORAGE depend on ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make it explicit that that is required for it to work correctly.
