Linux kernel builds have been broken since the initial feature landed.  With timing around the holidays, I wonder if we should consider backing everything out.

If the base commit ships in clang-18, then the linux kernel feature test macros will have to be converted to version test macros to work around issues with the initial implementation.  Either this fix needs to land BEFORE release/18.x branches, or the entire feature backed out.
