kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpersgrafted

Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit
`objtool` errors such as:

    vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a:
    can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd

The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles
the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) --
the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the
`-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach.

This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the
impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past
the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in
its own section.

Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always
emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

+======================================================
+Infrared remote control support in video4linux drivers
+======================================================
+
+Authors: Gerd Hoffmann, Mauro Carvalho Chehab
+
+Basics
+======
+
+Most analog and digital TV boards support remote controllers. Several of
+them have a microprocessor that receives the IR carriers, convert into
+pulse/space sequences and then to scan codes, returning such codes to
+userspace ("scancode mode"). Other boards return just the pulse/space
+sequences ("raw mode").
+
+The support for remote controller in scancode mode is provided by the
+standard Linux input layer. The support for raw mode is provided via LIRC.
+
+In order to check the support and test it, it is suggested to download
+the `v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_. It provides
+two tools to handle remote controllers:
+
+- ir-keytable: provides a way to query the remote controller, list the
+  protocols it supports, enable in-kernel support for IR decoder or
+  switch the protocol and to test the reception of scan codes;
+
+- ir-ctl: provide tools to handle remote controllers that support raw mode
+  via LIRC interface.
+
+Usually, the remote controller module is auto-loaded when the TV card is
+detected. However, for a few devices, you need to manually load the
+ir-kbd-i2c module.
+
+How it works
+============
+
+The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
+layer, i.e. you'll see the keys of the remote as normal key strokes
+(if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled).
+
+Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for
+applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event<n> devices.
+The udev/systemd will automatically create the devices. If you install
+the `v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_, it may also
+automatically load a different keytable than the default one. Please see
+`v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_ ir-keytable.1
+man page for details.
+
+The ir-keytable tool is nice for trouble shooting, i.e. to check
+whenever the input device is really present, which of the devices it
+is, check whenever pressing keys on the remote actually generates
+events and the like.  You can also use any other input utility that changes
+the keymaps, like the input kbd utility.
+
+
+Using with lircd
+----------------
+
+The latest versions of the lircd daemon supports reading events from the
+linux input layer (via event device). It also supports receiving IR codes
+in lirc mode.
+
+
+Using without lircd
+-------------------
+
+Xorg recognizes several IR keycodes that have its numerical value lower
+than 247. With the advent of Wayland, the input driver got updated too,
+and should now accept all keycodes. Yet, you may want to just reassign
+the keycodes to something that your favorite media application likes.
+
+This can be done by setting
+`v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_ to load your own
+keytable in runtime. Please read  ir-keytable.1 man page for details.
