If I am not mistaken neither raw_smp_processor_id() itself, nor
lowcore_ptr[raw_smp_processor_id()] are atomic. Should the preemption
be disabled while the addr is calculated?

But then the question arises - how meaningful the returned value is?
AFAICT kmsan_get_metadata() is called from a preemptable context.
So if the CPU is changed - how useful the previous CPU lowcore meta is?

Is it a memory block that needs to be ignored instead?

lowcore_ptr[] pointing into S390_lowcore is rather a bug.

Thanks!
