In particular, Rust has every single thing that Linus famously hated about C++, and lots more in that vein, besides.

Has he changed his mind about those things? Or does he not realize they are there, and that kernel code will use them?

Lets see your list of "every single thing that Linus famously hated about C++"

When I try to make a list one of the first things I find is "any programmer that would prefer the project to be in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really would prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with."

Yes, exactly that.
