Pull XArray updates from Andreas Hindborg:
"Introduce Rust support for the 'xarray' data structure:
- Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a dependency
for memory backing feature of the Rust null block driver, which is
waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in MAINTAINERS for the XArray Rust support. Patches
will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the Rust subsystem
tree for now.
'kernel' crate:
- Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the pointer
passed to the foreign language."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
