  MAINTAINERS: add entry for Rust XArray API (2025-05-01 11:37:59 +0200)


Best regards,
Andreas Hindborg

----------------------------------------------------------------
Rust xarray API for v6.16

Introduce Rust support for the `xarray` data structure:

 - Add a rust abstraction for the `xarray` data structure. This abstraction
   allows rust code to leverage the `xarray` to store types that implement
   `ForeignOwnable`. This support is a dependency for memory backing feature of
   the rust null block driver, which is waiting to be merged.

 - Set up an entry in MAINTAINERS for the xarray rust support. Patches will go
   to the new rust xarray tree and then via the rust subsystem tree for now.

`kernel` crate:

 - Allow `ForeignOwnable` to carry information about the pointed-to type. This
   helps asserting alignment requirements for the pointer passed to the foreign
   language.
