The various rust/cargo/crate patches look like they're heading in a
good direction, thanks!

The one thing which I think is missing is more support for testing some
of these changes in our automated testing.

In particular, devtool does have a decent test suite so we should
ensure new devtool additions have tests.

You can see the devtools tests in
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/devtool.py and run them with a command
like "oe-selftest -r devtool -j 3" for example.

Cheers,
