Adding KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET config makes kasan kernel fails to boot.
It receives a *write* fault at the beginning of a memblock_alloc
function while populating the kernel shadow memory: the trap address is
in the kasan shadow virtual address range and this corresponds to a
kernel address in init_stack. The question is: how do I populate the
stack shadow mapping without using memblock API? It's weird, I don't
find anything on other architectures.

And just a short note: I have realized this will break with the sv48
patchset as we decide at runtime the address space width and the kasan
shadow start address is different between sv39 and sv48. I will have to
do like x86 and move the kasan shadow start at the end of the address
space so that it is the same for both sv39 and sv48.

Alex
