Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64 and arm32:

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx>

I detected in the middle of the build lines like:

    find: 'lib': No such file or directory

It looks like we need:

    ee8bfb15d02d ("drm: drop lib from header search path.")

to go together with the one that was backported:

    5e7b3c10420e ("gpu: Move DRM buddy allocator one level up (part two)")

Having said that, there is something going on a bit confusing: commits
"part one" (4a9671a03f2b) and "part two" (ba110db8e1bc) in mainline seem
to have been merged into just the "part two" above in this -rc. Is that
intentional? I am asking because the original removal of the `lib`
folder happened in "part one" in mainline, so I was expecting to have to
point to that one above, but it doesn't exist on its own.
