Do you use memguard at all? I haven't needed to reach for it since KASAN was added.

Yes, though maybe there's a better way to do what we're doing. memguard can be used with only small performance impact for types/zones that don't match vm.memguard.desc. Actually I was recently thinking about a way to use memguard more broadly for infrequent allocations.
