I will link it in the commit message when I pick it up soon -- already
did in https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1132.

I also added the `-Z` flag to https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/2.

The `-Zmerge-functions` flag is internal but has been there since Rust
1.34.0 in upstream commit:

  b91d211b4030 ("Add a target option "merge-functions" taking values
in ("disabled", "trampolines", or "aliases (the default)) to allow
targets to opt out of the MergeFunctions LLVM pass. Also add a
corresponding -Z option with the same name and values.")

so that should be fine, but I will ping upstream Rust so that they are
aware we are using it.

And, yeah, agreed, we probably should remove the flag conditionally
later on, to confirm the bug is gone etc.

Cheers,
Miguel
