Subject: [GIT PULL] Rust pin-init for v6.16

Hi Miguel,

Here is the first pin-init pull request! It contains more changes than I
expected the first PR to have, but the new CI discovered a few smaller
issues and I also got a contribution.

All commits have been in linux-next for a few days. The earlier commits
have been in linux-next for a few weeks.

No conflicts expected.

Please pull for v6.16 -- thanks!

---
Cheers,
Benno

  rust: pin-init: improve documentation for `Zeroable` derive macros (2025-05-01 18:16:22 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
pin-init changes for v6.16

Added:

- 'Wrapper<T>' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper structs
  with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell<T>' or
  'MaybeUninit<T>'.

- 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but not
  error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
  'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.

- 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
  initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
  'Wrapper<T>' implementations.

Changed:

- Added support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

- Added support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

Upstream dev news:

- The CI has been streamlined & some bugs with it have been fixed. I
  also added new workflows to check if the user-space version and the
  one in the kernel tree have diverged.

- I also started to use the issues [1] tab to keep track of any problems
  or unexpected/unwanted things. This should help folks report and
  diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.
