For context, we have been tracking that feature (as well as
`const_mut_refs`) precisely for `THIS_MODULE`:
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/2
There is also a test that Ralf added upstream back then:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/tests/ui/consts/const-ref-to-static-linux-vtable.rs
(Not sure what you mean by "quite request" though)
