Very cool! But can we also see this with a "real" UIO driver as well?
Heck, even a conversion of something "simple" like the uio_dfl.c or
uio_cif.c would be nice to see (you have to do this on top of the
platform or pci rust bindings, see the list for the most recent round of
them). Seeing how this will be used is kind of key to ensure that we
know the bindings work properly.

Or better yet, submit your uio driver at the same time so that _you_
know the bindings work for you, I'll gladly take both of them at the
same time.

thanks,
