[+Cc slab people, Catalin and affected subsystems' folks]
just FYI, There is similar discussion about kmalloc caches' alignment.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220405135758.774016-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com/
It seems this is another demand for runtime resolution of slab
alignment, But slightly different from kmalloc as there is no requirement
for DMA alignment.

Why isn't it just ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN?

kasan_hw_tags_enabled() is also false when kasan is just not initialized yet.
What about writing a new helper something like kasan_is_disabled()
instead?

Not only the value should be bigger than or equal to ARCH_SLAB_MIN_MINALIGN,
it should be compatible with ARCH_SLAB_MIN_MINALIGN.
