This is v11 of the Rust GPU buddy allocator bindings series. The mbox contains only the cover letter (0/4) and patch 4/4, which is the actual Rust bindings patch. Patches 1-3 (DRM buddy code movement and an init-order fix) are included in the series for reference but are going through drm-misc-next separately.

The Rust bindings are well-structured and idiomatic. The design follows good kernel Rust patterns: pin-init for in-place construction of C structures, `Arc`-based shared ownership, mutex-guarded access, and automatic cleanup via `PinnedDrop`. The locking design correctly serializes all allocator access through `GpuBuddyGuard`, matching the C API's requirement that "locking should be handled by the user." The type layering (`GpuBuddy` → `GpuBuddyInner` → `GpuBuddyGuard`, `AllocatedBlocks` → `AllocatedBlock` → `Block`) is clean and provides strong safety guarantees.

There are a few issues worth addressing, mostly minor, plus one dead code item.
