The pin-init change does not build:

    error[E0425]: cannot find value `__refcount_guard` in this scope

         = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::__init_internal` which comes from the expansion of the macro `try_init` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

(among other errors)

I would suggest dropping these for now:

    0565326613fa ("rust: pin-init: internal: init: document load-bearing fact of field accessors")
    66655aacfa42 ("rust: pin-init: add references to previously initialized fields")
