Yes, ~130Mb (3G/1G split) should work. 512Mb shadow is optional.
The only advantage of 512Mb shadow is better handling of user memory
accesses bugs
(access to user memory without copy_from_user/copy_to_user/strlen_user etc API).

No need for that to be handed by KASan.  I have patches in linux-next,
now acked by Will, which prevent the kernel accessing userspace with
zero memory footprint.  No need for remapping, we have a way to quickly
turn off access to userspace mapped pages on non-LPAE 32-bit CPUs.
(LPAE is not supported yet - Catalin will be working on that using the
hooks I'm providing once he returns.)

Hey, I only acked the "Efficiency cleanups" series so far! The PAN emulation
is still on my list.
