Dear Maintainer,

Please enable the support for Linear Address Masking
(CONFIG_ADDRESS_MASKING).

Linear Address Masking (LAM) modifies the checking that is applied
to 64-bit linear addresses, allowing software to use of the
untranslated address bits for metadata.

The capability can be used for efficient address sanitizers (ASAN)
implementation and for optimizations in JITs.

A MR was created with this proposal at:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1217

Thanks,
Jair Gonzalez
