Yeah, as Greg says, the kernel needs a user for new code.

In these two pages I explain a bit the usual rules involved and some
general guidelines on how to proceed with new abstractions:

https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing#submitting-new-abstractions-and-modules
https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-reference-drivers

I hope that helps, and thanks for contributing -- a reference
implementation is always good to have in the list :)

Cheers,
