Thanks for testing these. Unfortunatly they're failing for me under my
kasan+sparsemem-vmemmap config, which looks like a defconfig with

CONFIG_KASAN=y
# CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL is not set
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL=y
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is not set

Nothing's really jumping out and I'm not sure that's a super compelling
configuration, but IIRC it's found a handful of issues before so I'm not
sure it's sane to just toss it.

I've put this all on the riscv-pgtable_static_key branch of
kernel.org/palmer/linux . If nobody has the time to look then I'll try
and give it another shot, but I'm pretty buried right now so happy to
have the help.
