Looks like
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260325125944.947263-1-lossin@kernel.org/
was reverted in 6.6, so there's nothing to backport here.

The macro is still unsound when packed fields are involved in 6.6, but there's
no in-tree user affected for this version.

So I think it's fine to skip.

Best,
