It would be nice if it went to stable, but I'd defer to the Kasan maintainers.

The kasan_arch_is_ready() checks went in a while back, but there wasn't
a meaningful user until the powerpc support went in, so I'd target that:

Fixes: 41b7a347bf14 ("powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN support")
