Uh that would complicate the code needlessly? The extra memory overhead
isn't that much for a scenario that's already a debugging one
(page_owner), I was more concerned about the cpu overhead, thus the
static key.

Yeah I generalized it later, as KASAN guys wanted the same thing:

Perhaps as it's still mmotm I can squash it here.
