Thanks for the patches! It is nice to see people interested in Rust
for more use cases.

On top of what Trevor said, please see:

    https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing

There is some extra information there that is important, such as
Cc'ing the relevant C side maintainers and lists, since they are the
ones that will have to agree to take these abstractions. In this case,
I would imagine that would be, at least, the InfiniBand maintainers
and the rdma list.

Moreover, please note that these patches seem to be on top of the
`rust` branch. Patches sent to the mailing list should generally be
based on top of one of the latest Linus' tags or `rust-next`. If your
abstractions require dependencies that have not arrived yet into
mainline, those will need to be upstreamed too. Please see the website
above for more details on this, e.g.
