Difficult to say. Several months maybe.

Eventually we want to switch to inlined instrumentation similar to
user-space asan.
But we need to figure out how it will look like, it's much easier to
experiment with runtime calls.
The instrumentation is not the hotspot ATM.

We will be sending gcc patches soon. Review and +1's are welcome.

Regarding kernel, we need to put together a TODO list -- there is lots of work.
Do you able to build kernel with asan and boot it? Just verifying it
and pointing any weak places in our docs would be a good start.
Thanks!
