Instead of writing this enum by hand, could we use the
`--rustified-enum` option to bindgen? I added `--rustified-enum
hrtimer_restart` in `rust/bindgen_parameters` and the result was

#[repr(u32)]
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum hrtimer_restart {
HRTIMER_NORESTART = 0,
HRTIMER_RESTART = 1,
}

what do you think? This can be revisited, so either way:
