I think kasan_populate_zero_shadow() should be fine. We call pgd_populate() only
if address range covers the entire pgd:

		if (IS_ALIGNED(addr, PGDIR_SIZE) && end - addr >= PGDIR_SIZE) {
....
			pgd_populate(&init_mm, pgd, kasan_zero_pud);
....

and otherwise we check for pgd_none(*pgd):
		if (pgd_none(*pgd)) {
			pgd_populate(&init_mm, pgd,
				early_alloc(PAGE_SIZE, NUMA_NO_NODE));
		}


Is there any way to run 16K pages on emulated environment?
I've tried:
 - ARM V8 Foundation Platformr0p0 (platform build 9.4.59)
 - QEMU 2.4.0
and both just doesn't boot for me on 4.4-rc1 with 16k pages config.
