Maybe... I hadn't even considered the possibility of having a single cargo
invocation (and thus a cargo workspace in the build tree) until Richard
pointed out the duplication in configuration files.

I suppose you could just link rust/aarch64-softmmu-hw to srctree/hw, and
have a srctree/hw/lib.rs file in there to prime the search for submodules.

I think the resulting hierarchy would feel a little foreign though. Without
seeing the code I can't judge but my impression is that, if we wanted to go
that way, I would also move all C code under src/. Perhaps we can consider
such a unification later, once we have more experience, but for now keep
Rust and C code separate?
