I don't have technical objections here, but it bothers me a bit that
we are adding support for KASAN_SANITIZE:=y, although nobody will be
adding KASAN_SANITIZE:=y to upstream Makefiles - only development
kernels when debugging on low-end devices.

Masahiro, is this something worth having in upstream Kconfig code?
