Yeah, it sounds fair, thanks!

After the warning is fixed (i.e. `-Zfixed-x18` or similar is
implemented etc.), I would recommend adding support to the kernel for
the `-Z` (unstable) flags, similar to this patch, in order to test
them easily and getting `rustc` to stabilize them. Then the only
change required should be a name change to `-C` or similar.

Cheers,
Miguel
