Thank you.

Because this is rebased on the changes in the arm64 tree, and also
touches arch/arm64, it probably has to go through the arm64 tree.

Note: Other architectures may want to update their message once they
support any one of the tags modes. But currently that's not yet the
case.

You could also consider leaving out the "(generic)" bit if it's the
generic mode to avoid adding this to all arch/**/kasan_init.c. Both is
fine with me. I leave it to you.
