Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (x86-64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

scripts/Makefile.kasan:21: CONFIG_KASAN: compiler does not support all options. Trying minimal configuration
scripts/Makefile.kasan:21: CONFIG_KASAN: compiler does not support all options. Trying minimal configuration
x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address'

lots and lots of this last message ...

Caused by the commits that added the kernel address sanitizer.

gcc version 4.9.0 cross compiling from Powerpc64.

I have added the following patch for today (after which I only got one
of the "compiler does not support all options" messages).
