Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units
(CUs) of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not
currently supported by pahole and if it's used with a build that has
BTF debugging enabled it results in malformed kernel and module
binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole to exclude Rust CUs until
support for it arrives.
