Thanks!

Gah, I was intending for it to go through -mm, then I cc'd neither
Andrew nor linux-mm... :/ Andrew, do you want me to resend or can you
grab it from LKML?

I do see it defined in that file as well but you are right that they did
not copy the Kconfig logic, even though it was present in the tree when
RISC-V KASAN was implemented. Perhaps they should so that they get
access to the other flags in the "else" branch?
