Is it possible that this patch drops the KCSAN portion? The patch
"kcsan: Simplify compiler flags" does the same, but is part of a
future pull request intended for 5.9.
The KCSAN changes had been in -next for well over a week. Also, I'm
sorry I hadn't seen your patch before, otherwise I would have noticed
this.

Thank you!
