Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx>

Compared to 6.19.4, the `COMPAT` build error is now fixed. The other
warning fix (`unwrap_or`) will still take time to arrive.

And like 6.18.y, I am seeing a trivial Clippy warning on Rust nightly --
we will most likely send the same targeted backport to clean it:

On top of that, I noticed an `objtool` warning in loongarch64, but it
happens on mainline too, so we will deal with it there:

Thanks!
