LLMs rewriting what? A) Rust modules to C so that it can be reviewed and merged by old school kernel hackers? B) C to unsafe Rust so that you lose any advantage of using Rust and get the worst of both world? C) Or rewrite the kernel maintainer's brains while they sleep so they become magically proficient in Rust when they wake up?

If you're talking about option A) or B), we already have things like mrustc and c2rust. These are though problems, LLMs aren't _that_ smart yet.
