Sami might be the best person to answer this, but KCFI (not CFI) tests are lowered by passes that are architecture specific (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D119296), so we'd need to add support for RISC-V. There is no additional work required in the Rust compiler besides enabling it for the new target.

If all you want is a boot under some configuration, that's not
difficult. After all, I found the original issue by booting a kernel
with CFI_CLANG enabled on the C side...

This is not super clear though, it says "in the Rust compiler", not "in
the kernel's buildsystem".
