There is; but I'm thinking it might be too short?

Those are gone.

That is the main kasan_report function, and is for, as the comment says:
kasan :-)

for __asan_{load,store}N

These, are, again as the comment suggests, the out-of-line KASAN ABI
calls.

The in-line KASAN ABI

Also, can I just say that {load,store}N vs {load,store}_n bugs the
hell out of me?

With one or two exceptions, yep.

I didn't think the code was that bad once you see the end result, but
sure, I can try something else.

'obvious' violation?

STAC; .... RET; # an AC=1 leak

.... CLAC; # spurious CLAC

If we do the STAC we must also do the CLAC. If we don't do the STAC we
must also not do the CLAC.

In general, validating NOPs isn't too interesting, so all NOP/INSN
binary alternatives could be forced on.

I've actually changed this to depend on --uaccess, when set we force on
FEATURE_SMAP, otherwise we force off.
