You're welcome!

They need to be in upstream Rust somehow, because upstream Rust does
not want to stabilize `target.json` since it is too tied to LLVM (as
far as we have been told). Whether that is via `-Ctarget-feature`, or a
new `-Cglobal-target-feature`, or specific flags like `-Zfixed-x18`
(originally `-Ctarget-feature=+reserve-x18`), or (many) new target
triples for different combinations, or something else, it depends on
the case and what upstream Rust wants to do.

That is why we should tell them what is needed, ideally in a new issue
in upstream Rust, and link it in
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/355 (please see that
list for similar examples).

I hope that explains a bit more the context.

Cheers,
Miguel
