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

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that the `huge_ptep_get` issue is fixed, in UML I noticed that we
still fail to build due to:

    error[E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find `CStrExt` in `str`
       --> drivers/android/binder/freeze.rs:109:13
        |
    109 |             kernel::warn_on!(freeze.num_cleared_duplicates != 0);
        |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ could not find `CStrExt` in `str`
        |
        = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::warn_flags` which comes from the expansion of the macro `kernel::warn_on` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

To fix it, this patch can be dropped:

Thanks!
