Is the 'ADDR()' construct going to result in any extra inlined instructions in an 
instrumented kernel? If yes, why not do it inside the KASAN callback to reduce 
inlining overhead?

Same objections as to the atomic primitives: don't hide function signatures behind 
CPP complexity for marginal line count reduction.
