Yes, lru_status is already handled.

I meant that both lru_status and fwctl_rpc_scope need explicit entries
in rust/bindgen_parameters. I was wondering whether there are plans for
bindgen to generate the newtype and matching CFI encoding automatically
for enums used in function-pointer signatures, so future additions
wouldn't need the same manual setup.
