Yes.

  powerpc/32: Disable KASAN with pages bigger than 16k
  
  Mapping of early shadow area is implemented by using a single static
  page table having all entries pointing to the same early shadow page.
  The shadow area must therefore occupy full PGD entries.
  
  The shadow area has a size of 128MB starting at 0xf8000000.
  With 4k pages, a PGD entry is 4MB
  With 16k pages, a PGD entry is 64MB
  With 64k pages, a PGD entry is 1GB which is too big.
  
  Until we rework the early shadow mapping, disable KASAN when the page
  size is too big.
