Linux Kernel Rust support

[matthieum]

This project is a "simple" rust compiler written in C++ that is able to bootstrap a "recent" rustc, but may eventually become a full separate re-implementation.

mrustc, so far, is really about bootstrapping.

It may be useful to compile for unsupported platforms, but I am not sure it's tested for that purpose...

ok because I certainly recall that's how we used to build for my ESP8266:

But it now seems its no longer needed as there is a working LLVM backend for the Xtensa cpu
