From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan: fix memory hotplug during boot Using module_init() is wrong. E.g. ACPI adds and onlines memory before our memory notifier gets registered. This makes sure that ACPI memory detected during boot up will not result in a kernel crash. Easily reproducible with QEMU, just specify a DIMM when starting up.
