Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

For UML (x86_64), I am also seeing the same issue as for 6.18.y:

    ./include/linux/srcutiny.h:14:10: fatal error: 'linux/irq_work_types.h' file not found
       14 | #include <linux/irq_work_types.h>
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We also still have the many missing safety comments Clippy warnings we
recently discussed:

    warning: unsafe block missing a safety comment
        --> rust/kernel/init/macros.rs:1015:25

Benno/Gary: I am tempted to just `#![allow(...)]` them for now (but if
you plan to add the comments soon, please let me know!).
