Interesting project!

The KMS series you refer to is really just including the C headers for bindgen,
while the driver messes with all C KMS APIs directly.

Lyude already works on proper KMS infrastructure for Rust; can you please work
with her to get your driver reworked to use the safe infrastructure?

Also, I recommend looking at this series [1], which should very much simplify
dealing with device resources.

Thanks,
Danilo
