With all this talk about Rust in the OS kernels, can someone
explain to me why Rust can't simply produce object files that
can be linked into the kernel like any C object file? (If you
just avoid calling Rust-specific libraries, just like you don't
call the C standard library either from within the kernel.)

I haven't worked with Rust, and the introductions to Rust that
I have read do not discuss this.
