With a pathchset, it would be normal to include a cover node, patch
0/X, which explains the big picture. There you could mention that you
are primarily doing this for Rust since it gives linker errors.

The patches themselves look O.K. Lets leave them for a couple of days
so 0-day can build test them and see if there are some users hiding
away which we both missed.
