[PATCH v4 2/7] mm: kasan: introduce generic kasan_populate_zero_shadow()

Andrey Ryabinin [off-list ref] writes:
Introduce generic kasan_populate_zero_shadow(start, end).
This function maps kasan_zero_page to the [start, end] addresses.

In follow on patches it will be used for ARMv8 (and maybe other
architectures) and will replace x86_64 specific populate_zero_shadow().

This assume that we can have shared pgtable_t in generic code ? Is that
true for generic code ? Even if it is we may want to allow some arch to
override this ? On ppc64, we store the hardware hash page table slot
number in pte_t, Hence we won't be able to share pgtable_t.
