[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1043373: RM: rust-vhost-user-backend [armel armhf i386 mipsel powerpc sh4 m68k] -- ANAIS; upstream does not support 32bit architectures

Upstream does not want to support 32bit architectures, making
use of either wrong code which works on 64bit arches only, or
using features available on 64bit arches oly, in every next
release.  Currently it explicitly uses arrays of AtomicU64
which either does not exist at all (armel) or are too slow.
This is after patching other problem places using d/patches,
which got rejected by the upstream due to lack of interest
in (writing correct code) supporting 32 bits.

Thanks,
