    TODO(morello): cheri: fix posix timers
    
    We need to distinguish timerids that are small integers returned by
    the kernel and timerids that are pointers to struct timer. The existing
    pointer tagging does not work for CHERI because of the pointer shift.
    
    Simply use the top bit without shift to tag pointers. This still relies
    on the top byte ignore of aarch64 (the top byte does not affect the
    capability representation) and that pointers are not tagged for other
    reasons (like HWASAN).
    
    TODO: this is morello specific and does not work for generic cheri.
