Another point that I have here is that KHWASAN is a debugging tool not
meant to be used in production. We're not trying to change the ABI or
something like that (referring to the other HWASAN patchset). We can
fix up the non obvious places where untagging is needed in a case by
case basis with additional patches when testing reveals it.
