Thanks very much for this. It's been on the to-do list for a while, and
it's definitely much nicer than generating lots of C code.

Reviewed-by: David Gow <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

My feeling is that this series should go via the rust-for-linux tree,
rather than the KUnit tree, as there's lots of poking around in common
rust files, and no change to the KUnit C code. But if you'd rather it go
in via kselftest/kunit, that's possible too.

Cheers,
