I'm fine with above solution as well. The Disadvantage is if we want to 
dynamically disable kfence through kfence_sample_interval, it must be 
mapped into page granularity still.

Another option is what Kefeng firstly thought and I had proposed on 
comments of patchsetV3, actually I wanted to do in an separate patch:

"
So how about we raise another change, like you mentioned bootargs 
indicating to use late init of b33f778bba5e ("kfence: alloc kfence_pool 
after system startup").
1. in arm64_kfence_alloc_pool():
    if (!kfence_sample_interval && !using_late_init)
              return 0;
    else
              allocate pool
2. also do the check in late allocation,like
    if (do_allocation_late && !using_late_init)
              BUG();
"
The thought is to allocate pool early as well if we need to 
using_late_init.

Kefeng, Marco,

How's your idea?
