Cross-language LTO is possible and is used in other major projects.
For instance, Firefox seems to use it:

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1486042

However, we have not taken a look at it yet for the kernel.

Maybe -- we need to measure.

Even if the performance was unacceptable, there are other ways than
LTO to solve this, such as implementing the equivalent macro/function
on Rust's side.

Furthermore, we need to consider GCC too.

Thus I would not be premature in making it depend on LTO.

Cheers,
Miguel
