I made a reduced test case yesterday (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/25628030/),
and it shows the same behavior with and without the sanitizer, it uses 128
bytes without the noreturn attribute and 480 bytes when its added, the sanitizer
adds a factor of 1.5x on top. It's possible that I did something wrong while
reducing, since the original driver file uses very little stack (a few hundred
bytes) without -fsanitize=kernel-address, but finding out what happens in
the reduced case may still help understand the other one.
