I have that all merged up on top of linux-next. Numerous minor
conflicts, mainly in arch/arm/Kconfig. Also the changes in
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201103175841.3495947-7-elver@xxxxxxxxxx had
to be fed into "kasan: split out shadow.c from common.c".

I staged it after linux-next to provide visibility into potentially
conflicting changes in the arm tree as things move forward.
