This series presents a major rework of I/O types, as a summary:
- Make I/O regions typed. The existing untyped region still exists
with a dynamically sized `Region` type.
- Create I/O view types to represent subregion of a full I/O region mapped.
A projection macro is added to allow safely create such subviews.
- Split I/O traits, make I/O views play a central role, avoid
duplicate monomorphization and less `unsafe` code.
- Add a `SysMem` backend, and make `Coherent` implement `Io`.
- Add copying methods (memcpy_{from,to}io and friends).
This series generalize `Mmio` type from just an untyped region to typed
representations (so `MmioRaw<T>` is `__iomem *T`). This allows us to remove
the `IoKnownSize` trait; the information is sourced from just the pointer
from the `KnownSize` trait instead.
Building on top of that, `Mmio` and `ConfigSpace` have been converted to
typed views of I/O regions rather than just a big chunk of untyped I/O
memory. These changes made it possible to implement `Io` trait for
`Coherent<T>`.
Shared system memory, `SysMem` is also added to the series, given it
similarity in implementation compared to `Coherent`. In fact, the series
use `SysMem` to implement `Coherent`'s I/O methods.
Built on these generalization, this series add `io_project!()`.
`io_project!()` performs a safe way to project a bigger view to a small
subviews, and some Nova code has been converted in this series to
demonstrate cleanups possible with this addition.
New `io_read!()`, `io_write!()` has been added that supersedes
`dma_read!()`, `dma_write!()` macro. Although, they work for primitives
only (to be exact, types that the backend is `IoCapable` of).
One feature that was lost from the old `dma_read!()` and `dma_write!()`
series was the ability to read/write a large structs. However, the
semantics was unclear to begin with, as there was no guarantee about their
atomicity even for structs that were small enough to fit in u32.
