Howdy folks,

I do apologize for my delayed responses.  I try to review patches as I
find them, but I haven't yet set up a dedicated tree -- a bit out of
practice.

The Rust patches gave me pause.  I have no context to review them --
even the little Rust I am familiar with looks nothing like the complex
stuff the kernel bindings are doing.  For that part, all I can do is
hope someone other than I knows what the Rust should be doing.

Thanks,
Joel
