Sounds good to me too.

Vincenzo, could you take care of Catalin's comments on your (arm64)
patches, do the rebase onto user mte v8, and share it with me? I'll
work on KASAN changes in the meantime, and then integrate everything
together for v2.

Perhaps the best way to test only the arm64 part is writing a simple
module that causes an MTE fault. (At least that's what I did when I
was testing core in-kernel MTE patches separately.) Or reuse this
series, all KASAN patches should rebase cleanly on top of the latest
mainline.
