I hacked kasan_init to dump info as it created each shadow region:

I note the the end of each shadow region overlaps the beginning of the next due
to the intentional end+1...

Other than the waste of memory (and the TLB conflict that gets solved by my
pgtable rework), I'm not sure though I'm not sure that's a problem, though.
