Am I understanding right that arch/x86/crypto is supposed to contain
algorithms implemented in x86 assembly rather than plain C?
If so, we should definitely disable all of them under KMSAN to avoid
false positives. And, yes, in a simpler way :)

What's the best way to handle this? Send another patch series? Or
maybe just an update for "crypto: kmsan: disable accelerated configs
under KMSAN"?
