That's fine, and definitely covers the common cases. Could you make
sure to call this out explicitly? Also, there's nothing to _keep_ this
approach working for things out of the direct map, right? It would just
be a matter of updating the shadow memory to have entries for the other
virtual address ranges.
addr_is_in_mem() is a pretty bad name for what it's doing. :)
I'd probably call it something like kasan_tracks_vaddr().
