Linux kernel as a library

Builds the Linux kernel sources as a rust crate for convenient use in your rust project. Beware of the license since this is essentially Linux.

Steps the build.rs script does for you

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/lkl/linux.git
make -C tools/lkl
ar rcs liblinux.a tools/lkl/lib/lkl.o

To link against it in your application you can add

println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=static=linux");

during the build.

For running the tests of lkl some python packages are required:

pip install junit_xml yamlish
make run-tests
cd tools/lkl
