I can admit by now: doing this blockchain stuff was not my thing. I tried it for four months and learned my lesson.

Just wanted to put this out loud for the sake of therapy... Now I know a bit of that and in long run that gives me a better perspective of the tech industry.

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).

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 :-)

I've been for a while planning for a while to add anonymous inodes but every time I start doing that I noticed similar step as the commits below the top-most are. It's better to work like this up until pieces go to right by themselves.

There's also still too much mess to take any bold actions on the use of locks. It also would need much cleaner starting point :-) This is time-consuming, unproductive but also fun...
