Subject: KFENCE: included in x86 defconfig?

Hi Alexander, Marco, Dmitry,

I hope you are well!

First, thank you for your nice work with KFENCE!

When talking to Jakub about the kernel config used by the new CI for the
net tree [1], Jakub suggested [2] to check if KFENCE could not be
enabled by default for x86 architecture.

As KFENCE maintainers, what do you think about that? Do you see some
blocking points? Do you plan to add it in x86_64_defconfig?

Matt
