Currently, we don't support MODVERSIONS for Rust symbols. For users that
want to use Rust in the kernel but for whom MODVERSIONS is required,
this allows the use of built-in Rust code even with MODVERSIONS enabled.
It may additionally allow code-size reduction by avoiding exporting
symbols that won't be used without Rust modules.
