I haven't thought about this too much yet. In pin-init, I rarely get
merge conflicts (in fact I don't recall any time when I had one), since
I author most of the patches. Now if the kernel were to change the
rustfmt config, then I'd change it as well.

If I convert it, then I will do so in a separate series as well.

Cheers,
Benno
