Normally, we try to use the imperative for the actual change in commit
messages, i.e. "as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour":

  https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

I would also probably add "rust: " after "kbuild: " in the title to
scope it a bit more, since these files are `rustc`'s ones.

Otherwise, it looks good, thanks! :)

I can take this through Rust since I have Manos' there too, unless
others prefer otherwise.

Cheers,
