Should we have #[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)] here?

Also, I feel like I might have asked this a few versions ago so hopefully i'm
not asking again: but what's the reason for us not just using the
discriminants of `HrTimerRestart` here:

/// Restart policy for timers.
#[repr(u32)]
pub enum HrTimerRestart {
    /// Timer should not be restarted.
    NoRestart = bindings::hrtimer_restart_HRTIMER_NORESTART,
    /// Timer should be restarted.
    Restart = bindings::hrtimer_restart_HRTIMER_RESTART,
}
