I hope... the devil's in the detail as always so I might be talking a lot of
crap too, as usual. You'll know better when you start poking at the code.

No worries, take your time.

And ofc, if we decide we need a fix for stable, you could make a one-liner be
the first patch which maybe which disables KASAN inline  when 5level page
tables have been detected. Or something to that effect.

And then the last patch will remove that fix.

That is, iff there's even a need to have something in stable. I don't know how
widespread kasan inline is...

Thx.
