I just tested those again in linux-next, with the Wii support series on
top, but now the kernel fails to build due to ARCH_WARN_ASM and
ARCH_WARN_REACHABLE not being defined on PowerPC:
```
error: no rules expected `ARCH_WARN_ASM`
   --> /home/linkmauve/dev/linux/wii/rust/kernel/generated_arch_warn_asm.rs:1:28
    |
  1 | ::kernel::concat_literals!(ARCH_WARN_ASM("{file}", "{line}", "{flags}", "{size}"))
    |                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no rules expected this token in macro call
    |
   ::: ../rust/kernel/lib.rs:279:1
    |
279 | macro_rules! concat_literals {
    | ---------------------------- when calling this macro
    |
    = note: while trying to match sequence start

error: no rules expected `ARCH_WARN_REACHABLE`
   --> /home/linkmauve/dev/linux/wii/rust/kernel/generated_arch_reachable_asm.rs:1:28
    |
  1 | ::kernel::concat_literals!(ARCH_WARN_REACHABLE)

    |
    = note: while trying to match sequence start

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors
```

This is in addition to the bindings::kvfree_call_rcu() call, but that
one is already being handled in a different thread.
