I guess you mean Patch 1 (the one adding the const to all arches) is not 
needed. Of course this one (Patch 2) is needed as it is the one that 
changes kasan.h to use const table size instead of impossible variable 
table size.

And that would also fix the problem reported by the kbuild test robot.
