Just to play devil's advocate. Until rust gets a production ready GCC backend or LLVM gets more esoteric HW support there are probably some platforms that cannot run rust. That being said... realistically I think by the time rust becomes a large enough part of the kernel for it to matter the issue will have been sorted out as there are already 2 GCC implementations of rust in development...
