In general, abstractions are not upstreamed unless there is an
expected user in-tree, i.e. the relevant maintainers already need to
agree on merging the user, and just having something out-of-tree does
not count, see:

    https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing#submitting-new-abstractions-and-modules

Thus, given what you say about the C side, it does sound like the
first step will be there anyway.
