Hi Alex, Palmer,

The patch changes the definition of the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET const.
Does it's value change as a result or not? Have you tried to print it
before/after?
If value does not change, then this is more mysterious. If it changes,
then there lots of possible explanations (points to unmapped region,
overlaps with something), but we need to know values before/after to
answer this.
