To be able to reserve the tag storage associated with a page requires that
the tag storage page can be migrated.

When HW KASAN is enabled, the kernel allocates pages, which are now tagged,
in non-preemptible contexts, which can make reserving the associate tag
storage impossible.

I assume that it's the only in-kernel user that actually requires tagged
memory (besides for user space), correct?

Indeed, this is the case. I'll expand the commit message to be more clear about
it.


Great, thanks!
