Given this relies on a compiler feature, can we please gate this on
compiler feature detection? e.g. in some common Kconfig have:

select CC_HAS_ASAN_HWADDRESS if $(cc-option -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress)

... and on arm64 we can do:

select HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS if !(ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48)

... and core KASAN Kconfig can have:

config KASAN_SW_TAGS
depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS
depends on CC_HAS_ASAN_HWADDRESS

[...]

... and then this warning shouldn't be possible, and can go.

Thanks,
