This allows you to get a raw pointer to THIS_MODULE for use in unsafe code. The Rust Binder RFC uses it when defining fops for the binderfs component [1]. This doesn't really need to go in now - it could go in together with Rust Binder like how it is sent in the Rust Binder RFC. However, the upcoming 1.77.0 release of the Rust compiler introduces a new warning, and applying this patch now will silence that warning. That allows us to avoid adding the #[allow(dead_code)] annotation seen in [2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
