That sounds like reasonable goal. If PL011 work slips, then we just
punt the enable-rust default change to 10.1.

IIUC, we decided we ought to have a rust mailing list for QEMU, such that
Rust patches would be cc'd on qemu-devel & qemu-rust. Along with that it
probably makes sense to have a designated "rust staging" tree that people
can base their work against.

Initially I presume "rust staging" would be for all Rust related work to
flow through. At a later date, then we can devolve maintainership back
to the respective subsystem maintainers, and have "rust staging" solely
be for core rust infrastructure patches.

With regards,
Daniel
