Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] rust: Introduce irq module

[Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>]

sigh - sorry, it's been so long since I've had patches that need to get
directed straight to the main kernel mailing list I didn't realize that my
current scripts for adding maintainers did not forward the cover letter for
this series to linux-vger - which actually had an example link to one current
usecase of these helpers. You can find the cover letter here:

https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240731224027.232642-1-lyude@redhat.com/T/#t

I will make sure that doesn't happen again if I need to send out a respin for
this series, apologies!
