If you send a v2, mind you consider reformatting so that this comment
block stays <= 80 chars?

Do we already support rust in external kernel modules?  In top-level
Makefile's oot-kmod 'prepare' target we check that the compiler
(version) is the same as when the kernel itself was built.  If rust
modules are supported, adding a similar check might be helpful.
