I think it's not too bad, the changes are just too close to each other -- no
semantic conflict.

As a general heads-up, Rust code is a bit more prone to conflicts.

On one hand this is due to the more powerful type system and components of
different subsystems being a bit closer connected to each other to provide
additional safety guarantees.

On the other hand, there's simply a lot of foundational work going on in
parallel.

For the Rust parts that are maintained under your mm tree, I think it should
generally stay well within limits though.

Yes, not sure if it will be in -rc2 already, but should be in -rc3. So, the
conflict in -next should vanish in case you backmerge the corresponding -rc.
