Enables compiling Rust crates as dependencies of kernel modules.
When a composite object depends on an `.rlib` file, which by the way is
a current ar archive, Kbuild will compile it from its base Rust source
and link it.
This makes possible to have Rust bindings for a subsystem that is
compiled as a module.

I could not understand how this will work because
there is no explanation how to use *.rlib in the later
build steps.
If I understand correctly, does this intend to link *.rlib
as a part of modules?
Yes, the purpose of this RFC is to link the *.rlib, its members
specifically, as part of modules to avoid the scenario of having
Rust bindings linked statically and their C counterparts dynamically.
I'll write a v2 that'll clarify its usage. I've made more progress
locally and had run tests with success.
