Yes, so please instead of just commenting out the values, please do something like 
this:

	/*
	 * This field gets initialized with the (dynamic) KASAN_SHADOW_END value
	 * in boot_fn_foo() 
	 */
	{ 0, "KASAN shadow end" },

where boot_fn_foo() is the function where this all gets set up.

Thanks,

	Ingo
