I think this commit should be in tip:x86/pti for dependency reasons, to get
backported automatically. I suspect we want the same KASAN robustness in
-stable.
If this patch is too high risk and should be in x86/mm, then it should still be
x86/pti based, to allow later merging into x86/pti.
The latest already-upstream commit of x86/pti is de791821c295, and this commit
applies cleanly to that base.
Thanks,
Ingo
