If the mesa branch is ready to merge so soon then I think we should just
get that merged and then I'll rebase the rust-team branch on top of new
master.  The rust-team branch is also ready to merge, but we're way
behind on aarch64 substitutes.  Either way the substitute servers will
be rebuilding all of rust so I think it'd be better to merge in
mesa-updates and then do rust.
