[PATCH v14 0/2] rust: xarray: Add a minimal abstraction for XArray

[PATCH v14 0/2] rust: xarray: Add a minimal abstraction for XArray

[Tamir Duberstein]

This is a reimagining relative to earlier versions[0] by Asahi Lina and
Maíra Canal.

It is needed to support rust-binder, though this version only provides
enough machinery to support rnull.

[PATCH v14 1/2] rust: types: add `ForeignOwnable::PointedTo`

[Tamir Duberstein]

Allow implementors to specify the foreign pointer type; this exposes
information about the pointed-to type such as its alignment.

This requires the trait to be `unsafe` since it is now possible for
implementors to break soundness by returning a misaligned pointer.

Encoding the pointer type in the trait (and avoiding pointer casts)
allows the compiler to check that implementors return the correct
pointer type. This is preferable to directly encoding the alignment in
the trait using a constant as the compiler would be unable to check it.

[PATCH v14 2/2] rust: xarray: Add an abstraction for XArray

[Tamir Duberstein]

`XArray` is an efficient sparse array of pointers. Add a Rust
abstraction for this type.

This implementation bounds the element type on `ForeignOwnable` and
requires explicit locking for all operations. Future work may leverage
RCU to enable lockless operation.
