This sounds like an agreement between maintainers. It is in no way
a concern for the users of the API, which is based on IOCTLs and a C
library wrapper around these IOCTLs.
They do it in Rust because Torwalds give them only one alternative:
C or Rust. If, some day, Linus permits COBOL (I'm joking), they might
change their mind, which wouldn't change the IOCTL and C APIs.
