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.
