Does Yury want to maintain it? From his messages back then I am not
sure if he does or not (he suggested "some non-rust person from a
related kernel subsystem", not sure if that meant himself in this case
too).

At least, he suggested adding a `MAINTAINERS` entry, which I agreed it
was a good idea (by the way, this patch series should add it, or at
least the eventual one that adds `bitfield!`).

In any case, it has been a while since those discussions. It would be
nice to know what people think nowadays about the macro here etc.

But yeah, from my side, no rush. And if Alexandre wants to maintain
the new file and he wants a tree, I am happy to set it one more up.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
