My impression is the rust team is still learning how best to apply
rust to linux. So things land and get changed around with a healthy
does of compile breaking changes. In a certain sense they are building
a unique kernel specific dialect of rust as they go.

It's fine, and this particular case is managable, but my main point is
as rust increases in scope a more accommodating process is needed to
maintain the general kernel work flow.
