Yeah, unless we want to use it in the `macros` crate for an example or
similar -- I didn't include the removal directly here mainly to split
that decision into another step, but given this other issue in
`rusttest` I just sent:

I think it is easiest to just get rid of it (and anyway eventually I
want to run the tests from the macros crate within the kernel too).

I have sent a patch for that here:
