The `-Cunsafe-allow-abi-mismatch=fixed-x18` workaround was added to
handle a rustdoc bug where target modifiers were not properly saved [1].
This bug was fixed in Rust 1.90.0 [2]. Restrict the workaround to only
apply for Rust 1.88.x and 1.89.x versions that are affected by the
bug, preserving ABI compatibility checks on newer compiler versions.

Changes in v3:
- Remove Fixes: tag (this is a feature, not a fix)
- Use full URLs with Link: tags instead of GitHub-style references
- Add Link: to lore.kernel.org for Suggested-by attribution
- Add Cc: stable for potential backporting to 6.18.y
Changes in v2:
- Change approach: bound to affected Rust versions instead of ARM64-only
(the flag is simply ignored on non-ARM64 architectures)
