An Asahi Linux 6.14 progress report

Description:
The Asahi Linux project, working to support Linux on Apple hardware, has published a
progress report to coincide with the 6.14 kernel release. Now that Rust for Linux abstractions are starting to be merged at a
healthy pace, we are faced with an emerging challenge. It is rare
for any kernel patch to survive the mailing list without at least a
couple of non-trivial changes, and Rust abstractions are no
exception. Every time an abstraction used by our driver is merged,
we must drop our downstream version and rebase the driver atop the
version accepted upstream. This is grueling, menial, and
unpleasant work, and Janne has our deepest gratitude for
volunteering his time to get through it.
