Hi Petr,

"Andreas Hindborg" [off-list ref] writes:
This series extends the `module!` macro with support module parameters. It
also adds some string to integer parsing functions and updates `BStr` with
a method to strip a string prefix.

This series stated out as code by Adam Bratschi-Kaye lifted from the original
`rust` branch [1].

After a bit of discussion on v3 about whether or not module parameters
is a good idea, it seems that module parameters in Rust has a place
in the kernel for now. This series is a dependency for `rnull`, the Rust
null block driver [2].

Luis told me you are the one wearing the modules hat for the moment. How
do you want to handle merging of patch 6 and subsequent maintenance of
the code?

I think we discussed you guys taking this under the current module
maintainer entry? If that is correct, will you add the new files to your
entry yourself, or should I include an update to MAINTAINERS in the next
version of this series?

If prefer another solution, let me know and we can figure that out.


Best regards,
Andreas Hindborg
