As far as I can tell, these were unneeded features besides the winnt feature.

Very possible, we don't have a solution for finding unused features today.

Pull request overview

Migrates the openvmm_entry crate’s Windows API usage from winapi to windows-sys, aligning with the repo’s ongoing effort to consolidate Windows dependency usage (Issue #1061).

Changes:

  • Replaced winapi access mask constants with windows-sys equivalents in Windows named-pipe serial binding.
  • Swapped the Windows-only dependency from winapi to windows-sys (enabling Win32_Foundation).
  • Updated Cargo.lock to reflect the dependency change.

The access mask constants are referenced via long fully-qualified paths twice. Consider importing GENERIC_READ/GENERIC_WRITE (e.g., with a use inside this #[cfg(windows)] block) to reduce verbosity and make future refactors easier.
