I just git Kasan back on my radar because it needs to be fixed some day.

I took this branch for a ride on some QEMU and some real hardware.
Here I use the test module and just hacked it into the kernel instead of
as a module, it then crashes predictably but performs all the KASan
tests first and it works file, as in provokes the right warnings from
KASan.

Tested systems:

QEMU ARM RealView PBA8
QEMU ARM RealView PBX A9
QEMU ARM Versatile AB
Hardware Integrator CP
Hardware Versatile AB with IB2

Can we start to submit these patches to Russell's patch tracker?
Any more testing I should be doing?

Yours,
