Hi Ard,

Thanks a lots for your advice.

Of course, I just simulate how arm64 did, It's surrounded by a bunch of
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_...). I think I could also send a patch for arm64 to
move out the IS_ENABLED() to Kconfig.

Actually I have a patch set support KASAN_VMALLOC for arm which is
similar with I did for arm64, this patch is regarded as the first patch
from the serise.

But It has problems that it's very easy to run out of vmalloc area
due to 32bit address space(balance between low and highmem),
so the serise is pending and I send this patch alone.

Anyway, I'll send v2 to move the conditioni-if to Kconfig.

thanks,

Lecopzer
