Hello,

I've been working on this already and a different approach
with the Kconfig ARCH_DEFER_KASAN has been proposed.

Please see v4 thread.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250805142622.560992-1-snovitoll@gmail.com/

It also covers the printing in a single KASAN codebase, instead of
printing "KASAN intiilaized" in arch/* code.
Also covers the enabling KASAN via kasan_enable() for all 3 modes.

It's up to KASAN maintainers to choose either version.
I just need the confirmation now if I should proceed with v5,
or your version if it covers all arch and cases should be picked up.

Thanks
