Hi Hao,

Thanks for the info.

We've already extended how_to_report_bug.md with some warning:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/ca0f51ac4a404a5378464e91c42eca8c1e78e21a
But it does not mention KCSAN/KMSAN yet, as these reports come in later.

This is a good idea.
We will need to figure out details, and this will require some coding.
