Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 1/8] rust: kernel: add basic abstractions for device-mapper

> - Declare `vtable` for basic target operations.
> - Wrap `target_type` to register/unregister target.

On my system this patch series (I did not test which patch exactly) does
not compile.

I have left some comments below, they show some patterns present in
the other patches as well.

This macro should be called `set_target_operations`.

`unsafe` functions need to have a `# Safety` section.

Is it really necessary to have these correspond to the exact values?
Could we also just have a conversion function and leave the repr to
the compiler?

This should be in the `# Safety` section.

Needs to be a type invariant.
