A system without TBI and FPAC could be problematic as [signing](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2024-09/Shared-Pseudocode/aarch64-functions-pac?lang=en#impl-aarch64.InsertPAC.6) adds PAC to the top bits ( ```result = ((ptr<63:56> EOR PAC<63:56>) : bit55 : ptr<54:0>); ```)
While XPAC's [Strip](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2024-09/Shared-Pseudocode/aarch64-functions-pac?lang=en )) throws those way. (```original_ptr = extfield<63:bottom_PAC_bit> : A<bottom_PAC_bit-1:0>;```)
I had a version 88b512720752c31374ca75b4c2ccab8b00b25fb1 for that cross checked the auth and xpac result but it [failed on bots](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/actions/runs/11524630174/job/32086008467#step:5:5362) as they don't have FPAC nor TBI and even PAC disabled but there are bits in the top part of the LR.
xpac drop those bits always regardless of PAC status.
I'm planning to make this configurable, e.g when compiled with `-mbranch-protection`.
I'm happy to hear more ideas.
