Subject: [PATCH] rust: mem: add `Align` type
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 13:03:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609120325.233721-1-gary@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

Rust's `repr(align())` only works with integers. Add an `Align` type so it
can also be specified via const generics.
