Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] rust: add improved version of
 `ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut`

This is a re-submission of Alice's patch[0]. The leading commits are
intended to improve the consistency and ergonomics of `ForeignOwnable`,
and to split out the code movement originally included in the patch.

`ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut` is a dependency of the memory backing
feature of `rnull`, the Rust null block driver.
