I checked on x86_64 and ppc64 (they both have KASAN implementation):

I added the following:

printk("%s: %d\n", __func__, virt_addr_valid(0));

in x86_64: sounds/last.c
in pp64: arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.c

and in both the cases the output is 0 (false) when the same in arm64 is 1
(true). Therefore I think we should proceed with the change.
