From: Daniel Axtens <d...@axtens.net> In powerpc (as I understand it), we spend a lot of time in boot running in real mode before MMU paging is initialised. During this time we call a lot of generic code, including printk(). If we try to access the shadow region during this time, things fail.
My attempts to move early init before the first printk have not been successful. (Both previous RFCs for ppc64 - by 2 different people - have needed this trick too!) So, allow architectures to define a kasan_arch_is_ready() hook that bails out of check_memory_region_inline() unless the arch has done all of the init.
