There are a few ways to run KUnit-compatible KASAN tests.

1. Loadable module

-With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` enabled, ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` can be built as
-a loadable module and run on any architecture that supports KASAN by loading
-the module with insmod or modprobe. The module is called ``test_kasan``.

2. Built-In

-on any architecure that supports KASAN. These and any other KUnit tests enabled
