Yes that was my point

I'm wondering if for specific PAGE_OFFSET values, __mmu_mapin_ram()
ends using a BAT to map exactly the KASAN area, thus wasting it
because the kernel would never/rarely access it.

Or worse, it could consume the latest BAT available, and there would
be none left for the actual KASAN vm area

Maybe mmu_mapin_ram() could clamp top to KASAN phys start.
