null_blk or not, it's more if we want to go down this path of
maintaining rust bindings for the block code in general. If the answer
to that is yes, then doing null_blk seems like a great choice as it's
not a critical piece of infrastructure. It might even be a good idea to
be able to run both, for performance purposes, as the bindings or core
changes.
Yes.  And I'm not in favor of it, especially right now.  There is
so much work we need to do that requires changes all over (e.g.
sorting out the request_queue vs gendisk, and making the bio_vec
folio or even better physical address based), and the last thing I
need is a binding to a another language, one that happens to have
nice features but that also is really ugly.
