Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

JFYI - After talking a bit to the Asahi folks, it seems like that we're
actually a ways off from Asahi having any actual usecase for the export()
callback - so I'm going to just drop the dma_buf bits here for the next
version of the patch series
