Just as a note, we ran into an issue with this patchset. There is a
missing `BINDGEN_TARGET_arm64` in rust/Makefile (around line 255).
Without that, bindgen fails.

 # Derived from `scripts/Makefile.clang`.
 BINDGEN_TARGET_x86     := x86_64-linux-gnu
+BINDGEN_TARGET_arm64   := aarch64-linux-gnu
 BINDGEN_TARGET         := $(BINDGEN_TARGET_$(SRCARCH))

(No need to credit us for that ^^)

Thanks!
