The way the current KASAN initialisation is implemented requires that
the start of shallow shadow mappings are aligned on a pgdir boundary for Sv39.
The address of the shadow mappings are derived from the original address
shifted right by KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT, which is 3. So as a
pgdir boundary is 1GiB this means the original address must be 8GiB aligned.

The patch to increase the size of the linear mapping from 124GiB to 128GiB
moves the start address of the linear mapping by 4GiB, and as a side effect
moves the start of the vmalloc region by 4GiB, thus breaking the
8GiB alignment requirement for KASAN.

I've reworked the patch to simply shift the start address of the linear mapping
by 8GiB instead, and it appears to fix the KASAN problem, as well as allowing
the full 128GiB to be supported. A cleaner fix might be to make the alignment
requirements explicit in the definition of VMALLOC_START, or alternatively
fix the KASAN initialisation to cope with non-aligned start addresses. What
do you think?
