The answer from Miguel Ojeda, who made the patch series: “Of course! What happens here is that we use, for the moment, `alloc`, which is part of the Rust standard library. However, we will be customizing/rewriting `alloc` as needed to customize its types (things like `Box`, `Vec`, etc.) so that we can do things like pass allocation flags, ensure we always have fallible allocations, perhaps reuse some of the kernel data structures, etc. Cheers, Miguel”
