The binder-related patches couldn't be applied to the mainline
repository. I wrote a simple misc device to test pr_warn_ratelimited:
[ 80.655483] misc misc_test: Opening Rust Misc Test Device
[ 80.655546] Rust: 1990 callbacks suppressed
[ 80.656102] rust_misc_test: pr_warn_ratelimited triggered (0) from
/dev/misc_test
[ 80.656137] rust_misc_test: pr_warn_ratelimited triggered (1) from
/dev/misc_test
