I am going to be one of the primary consumers of this code as the
Fedora Asahi kernel maintainer and have been driving Rust enablement
in the Fedora Linux kernel (and eventually the RHEL kernel). I have
tested and looked over the patches from that lens.

While I might not be well-known here, I am known by the Rust for
Linux folks, as well as the filesystem folks (since those are the main
places I tend to frequent). I am also a member of the Asahi Linux team.

I've been engaging with the Linux kernel community directly in some
fashion for nearly a decade. Unfortunately, most of that isn't in the
form of commits directly to the Linux kernel, though.
