> Enable kfence on book3s64 hash only when early init is enabled.
> This is because, kfence could cause the kernel linear map to be mapped
> at PAGE_SIZE level instead of 16M (which I guess we don't want).
> 
> Also currently there is no way to -
> 1. Make multiple page size entries for the SLB used for kernel linear
>     map.
> 2. No easy way of getting the hash slot details after the page table
>     mapping for kernel linear setup. So even if kfence allocate the
>     pool in late init, we won't be able to get the hash slot details in
>     kfence linear map.
> 
> Thus this patch disables kfence on hash if kfence early init is not
> enabled.

Looks complex, can we do simpler ?
