[RFC PATCH 00/11] [RFC] Device / Driver and PCI Rust abstractions

[Danilo Krummrich <dakr@redhat.com>]

This patch sereis implements basic generic device / driver Rust abstractions,
as well as some basic PCI abstractions.

This patch series is sent in the context of [1], and the corresponding patch
series [2], which contains some basic DRM Rust abstractions and a stub
implementation of the Nova GPU driver.

Nova is intended to be developed upstream, starting out with just a stub driver
to lift some initial required infrastructure upstream. A more detailed
explanation can be found in [1].

Some patches, which implement the generic device / driver Rust abstractions have
been sent a couple of weeks ago already [3]. For those patches the following
changes have been made since then:

- remove RawDevice::name()
- remove rust helper for dev_name() and dev_get_drvdata()
- use AlwaysRefCounted for struct Device
- drop trait RawDevice entirely in favor of AsRef and provide
  Device::from_raw(), Device::as_raw() and Device::as_ref() instead
- implement RevocableGuard
- device::Data, remove resources and replace it with a Devres abstraction
- implement Devres abstraction for resources

As mentioned above, a driver serving as example on how these abstractions are
used within a (DRM) driver can be found in [2].

Additionally, the device / driver bits can also be found in [3], all
abstractions required for Nova in [4] and Nova in [5].
