Currently many I/O related structs carry a `SIZE` parameter to denote the minimum size of the I/O region, while they also carry a field indicating the actual size. Proliferation of the pattern creates a lot of duplicated code, and makes it hard to create typed views of I/O. Introduce a `Region` type that carries the `SIZE` parameter. It is a wrapper of `[u8]`, which makes it dynamically sized with a metadata of `usize`. This way, pointers to `Region` naturally carry size information. This type is required to be 4-byte aligned. Expose the minimum size information via `MIN_SIZE` constant of the `KnownSize` trait. Similarly, expose the minimum alignment information via `KnownSize::MIN_ALIGN`. With these changes, it is possible to add an associated type to `Io` trait to represent the type of I/O region. For untyped regions, this is the newly added `Region` type. Remove `IoKnownSize` as it is no longer necessary. Use the same mechanism to indicate minimum size of PCI config spaces.
