Nice to see continuous progress in Rust for Linux, especialy since it's seems efforts to stabilise Rust features so that RLA doesn't depend anymore on nightly seems to be fructiful.

I'm looking forward for when a big driver (like ashahi or the Nvdia one) are merged in master. It's going to be a big milestone.

    The "we use a stable macro that uses the same unstable features anyway" is kinda confusing though.

    I guess it's about language interface stability more than unstable feature functional stability?

    I did not double check, but I assume the macro is provided by std (which is allowed to use unstable items internally). This macro can be stabilised, even if the unstable features themselves are not stabilised yet.
