If you search the archives you can find a simple kbuild patch to
introduce C++ support.
OK, googled a little:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0509.2/0549.html

I wrote it for someone that requested it long ago - and never applied it

They had done the hard stuff themself - adapting the rest of the kernel
to be compileable by a C++ compiler.
