Yep! That's exactly what I did, but as I mentioned up-thread, the
result is that we only cover the `kernel` crate.

Thanks, that's a helpful pointer, and it solves some problems but not
all. The root Makefile contains this bit:

> KBUILD_HOSTRUSTFLAGS := $(rust_common_flags) -O -Cstrip=debuginfo \
> -Zallow-features= $(HOSTRUSTFLAGS)

which means we can't use the provenance lints against these host
targets (including e.g. `rustdoc_test_gen`). We can't remove this
-Zallow-features= either because then core fails to compile.

I'm at the point where I think I need more involved help. Want to take
a look at my attempt? It's here:

Thanks!
