First things first, what are the current expectations for subsystems
accepting rust code?

I was hoping someone from the Rust side is going to review this.
We try to review stuff within 48h at netdev, and there's no review :S

My immediate instinct is that I'd rather not merge toy implementations
unless someone within the netdev community can vouch for the code.

You seem to create a rust/net/ directory without adding anything 
to MAINTAINERS. Are we building a parallel directory structure?
Are the maintainers also different?
