And this one blows up x86_64 allmodconfig builds.

instrumented.h looks like a higher-level thing than uaccess.h, so this
inclusion is an inappropriate layering. Or maybe not.

And kmsan-add-kmsan-runtime-core.patch introduces additional build
errors with x86_64 allmodconfig.

This is all with CONFIG_KMSAN=n

I'll disable the patch series. Please do much more compilation testing
- multiple architectures, allnoconfig, allmodconfig, allyesconfig,
defconfig, randconfig, etc. Good luck, it looks ugly :(
