These are not suitable for use as a Fixes: tag because these commits
refer to code in another part of the tree that has nothing to do with
the BUG() dump that is contained within your commit message.

I ask again... Is this a bug fix?

Is it a regression?

Is it something that used to work that no longer works?

When did it break?

Has it always been broken?

Has it been broken since KASAN was introduced on 32-bit ARM?

I'm not applying this commit until I get *proper* answers to these
questions so that I can work out whether this needs to go in -rc
or whether it waits until the next merge window... and whether it
needs a Fixes: tag or not.
