No worries at all, and thanks!

What we normally do is putting them in the "wanted features" sub-lists
(to track implementation/merging into upstream Rust). Then, when we
start using them, we put them into the main list at
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/2 (to track
stabilization).

Then we also add version numbers when they get implemented/stabilized,
and then on the version upgrades I like to go through the lists and
mention things in the commit message that got solved (that we needed).

Therefore, since the feature is still getting implemented, I have
added it now to https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/355 --
when the PR / Tracking Issue are created, we can add the links.

Cheers,
Miguel
