Linux-for-Rust or Rust-for-Linux

Given that is at least one (Christoff Hellwig) big developer (you make it sound like two - Greg KH) is throwing a lot of effort into cleaning up the kernel, sounds like they need to be brought on-side if they aren't already.

I'm picking up a lot about Rust-kernel bindings, and how the end result is much cleaner for both the C and Rust sides. So even if the resulting Rust work isn't merged, actually the effort spent creating the Rust interface would be a great help to both of them.

So you now have clean Rust interfaces for anybody who is interested ... and any "I'm not learning Rust" developers who tamper with those interfaces will get shouted at "don't you dare create any (C) bugs that this would have automatically caught!"

Cheers,
