Hi Sasha,

As discussed on LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider
KASan as a suitable replacement).

I've build tested it using all[yes,no,mod]config and fuzzed a bit with this
patch applied, didn't notice any bad behaviour.

Can you elaborate on what exactly was discussed at LSF/MM? Preferably in 
the commit log. ;-)
