FYI there have been many attempts in applying ASan to bare-metal and at least some were successful. E.g. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Alexander_Popov-KASan_in_a_Bare-Metal_Hypervisor_0.pdf and also grep for "bare-metal" and similar stuff in this group.
Given that this has been asked many times already, maybe makes sense to add a note to FAQ?
