A non-rustianated opinion about DMA patches: it should be part of patch set that requires DMA.

I.e. I was eager to try it out but there is no payload to test. I did add lei filter to get everything from rust-for-linux matching DMA so looking forward to do this in future :-)

It's a non-Rust related principle in kernel that:

1. No code shall pass without a caller.
2. No code shall be more generic than its callers require it to be (because we don't hold API/ABI compatibility per version for in-kernel API's).
