Something like this:

	#define KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE (KASAN_SHADOW_END - KASAN_SHADOW_START)

	BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(KASAN_SHADOW_END, PGD_SIZE)
			 && !((PGDIR_SIZE > KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE)
				 && IS_ALIGNED(KASAN_SHADOW_END, PUD_SIZE)));

Right.

Just take a look at p?d_clear() macroses, under CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=2 for example.
pgd_clear() and pud_clear() is nops, and pmd_clear() is actually clears pgd.

I could replace p?d_clear() with set_p?d(p?d, __p?d(0)).
In that case going down to pmds is not needed, set_p?d() macro will do it for us.

Sure, just pgd_populate() will work here, because this code is only for 16K+48-bit,
which has 4-level pagetables.
But it wouldn't work if 16k+48-bit would have > 4-level.
Because pgd_populate() in nop in such case, so we need to go down to actually set 'tmp_pud'

I just tried to avoid assumptions about number of pagetables levels in that code.
