[PATCH v6 5/6] kasan: allow architectures to provide an outline readiness check

[Christophe Leroy]

From: Daniel Axtens <dja at axtens.net>

In powerpc (as I understand it), we spend a lot of time in boot
running in real mode before MMU paging is initalised. During
this time we call a lot of generic code, including printk(). If
we try to access the shadow region during this time, things fail.

My attempts to move early init before the first printk have not
been successful. (Both previous RFCs for ppc64 - by 2 different
people - have needed this trick too!)

So, allow architectures to define a kasan_arch_is_ready()
hook that bails out of check_memory_region_inline() unless the
arch has done all of the init.
