Nice catch - I can't reproduce this behavior anymore. Even if I go
back to the clang version that first introduced KMSAN on s390x, the
memset() instrumentation with -ffreestanding is still there. I should
have written down more detailed notes after investigating this, but
here we are. I will drop this patch as well as 10/33.
