Now that we have our own `Allocator`, `Box` and `Vec` types we can remove
Rust's `alloc` crate and the `new_uninit` unstable feature.

Also remove `Kmalloc`'s `GlobalAlloc` implementation -- we can't remove
this in a separate patch, since the `alloc` crate requires a
`#[global_allocator]` to set, that implements `GlobalAlloc`.

Would it make sense to throw in a soon-to-be-stable (or
already-stable-but-beyond-min-rust-version) feature here to not have to
remove the build system support for unstable feature directly?

It's only about those two lines, right? I can only remove the `new_uninit` and
leave `rust_allowed_features :=` and leave...


For example, I know that const_refs_to_static might be added here
soon-ish.

  # `--out-dir` is required to avoid temporaries being created by `rustc` in the
  # current working directory, which may be not accessible in the out-of-tree
  # modules case.
  rust_common_cmd = \
  	RUST_MODFILE=$(modfile) $(RUSTC_OR_CLIPPY) $(rust_flags) \
-	-Zallow-features=$(rust_allowed_features) \

...this line, I guess?

Seems like I can't, it blows up with an empty feature list. I'll keep it as it is for now. Shouldn't be a big deal to add it again, once needed.



I think this actually allow all features instead of allowing none.
