kindly ping.
Hi

Based on the discussion we had, this patch is not enough. It should at 
least also de-activate DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,

However I'm looking at fixing it the other way round. Give me one week 
or two.

On platform PPC_FSL_BOOK3E, all lowmem is managed by tlbcam. That means
we didn't really map the kfence pool with page granularity. Therefore,
if KFENCE is enabled, the system will hit the following panic:
