I guess this implies it's incompatible with memory hotplug, as the
shadow couldn't be extended?
That's fine, but you should exclude that in Kconfig.
There are likely more exclude dependencies for Kconfig too.
Neds dependencies on the right sparse mem options?
Does it work with kmemcheck? If not exclude.
Perhaps try to boot it with all other debug options and see which ones break.

Hardcoding --param is not very nice. They can change from compiler
to compiler version. Need some version checking?
Also you should probably have some check that the compiler supports it
(and print some warning if not)
Otherwise randconfig builds will be broken if the compiler doesn't.
Also does the kernel really build/work without the other patches?
If not please move this patchkit to the end of the series, to keep
the patchkit bisectable (this may need moving parts of the includes
into a separate patch)

Heh. Please remove.

Needs much more description.

Same.

That's ugly, but ok.

It would be better to use a static_key, but I guess your initialization
is too early?
Of course the proposal to move it into start_kernel and get rid of the
flag would be best.

Do these all need to be global?

Of course there are lots of cases where this doesn't work (like large
holes), but I assume this has been checked elsewhere?

Couldn't this be done without checking the flag?

How about vsyscall pages here?

Wouldn't this crash&burn later? panic?

I assume this handles negative len?
Also check for overlaps?

This should be in the respective slab headers, not hard coded.

Should print the same prefix oopses use, a lot of log grep tools
look for that.
Also you may want some lock to prevent multiple
reports mixing.
