Thanks Andrew. I didn't realise it was sent and then dropped.

However, we should decouple (or rather reorder) the two patches. There's
no functional dependency between removing the redundant config option (a
fix for an existing commit) and adding support for KASAN_SW_TAGS with
gcc-11, only a conflict in scripts/Makefile.kasan. Walter's original
patch applies on top of vanilla 5.12-rc3:
