[PATCH 0/4] rust: configfs abstractions

[Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@kernel.org>]

This series adds a safe Rust API that allows Rust modules to interface
the `configfs` machinery.

The first patch in the series is a resend of a patch that previously
appeard on list, adapted to apply on top of `rust-6.14`.

The series contains an example for the samples folder to demonstrate
usage of the API. As such, there is no inline example in the
documentation.

The last patch adds a maintainer entry for the Rust configfs
abstractions, to make it absolutely clear that I will commit to maintain
these abstractions, if required. Feel free to drop this patch if this is
not required.

The series is a dependency of `rnull`, the Rust null block driver.
Please see [1] for initial `configfs` support in `rnull`.
