[PATCH 00/20] Generic `Allocator` support for Rust

[Danilo Krummrich <dakr@redhat.com>]

Hi,

This patch series adds generic kernel allocator support for Rust, which so far
is limited to `kmalloc` allocations.

In order to abstain from (re-)adding unstable Rust features to the kernel, this
patch series does not extend the `Allocator` trait from Rust's `alloc` crate,
nor does it extend the `BoxExt` and `VecExt` extensions.

Instead, this series introduces a kernel specific `Allocator` trait, which is
implemented by the `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` allocators, also
implemented in the context of this series.

As a consequence we need our own `Box` and `Vec` types, which are implemented by
this series as `KBox` and `KVec`.

With that, we can start using `KBox` and `KVec` throughout the tree and remove
the now obolete extensions `BoxExt` and `VecExt`.

For a final cleanup, this series removes the last minor dependencies to Rust's
`alloc` crate and removes it from the entire kernel build.

The series ensures not to break the `rusttest` make target by implementing the
`allocator_test` module providing a stub implementation for all kernel
`Allocator`s.

This patch series passes all KUnit tests, including the ones added by this
series. Additionally, the tests were run with `kmemleak` and `KASAN` enabled,
without any issues.

This series is also available in [1].
