Yes, about the skip_kasan_poison, i just want the kpageflags to support 
it,  i think it should be included,

the mainly  region is i want get the page node info from the kpageflags 
in my next patch,  when i check these

codes,  i see there lost some info about the skip_kasan_poison and young 
flags,  the page_types tool also check

the kasan pages, so i think it should be included.

Thanks.
