[PATCH v6 0/9] LKMM generic atomics in Rust

Hi all,

This is the v6 of LKMM atomics in Rust, you can find the previous
versions at:

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/
wip: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/

I dropped the support for atomic pointers for now
(Atomic<{isize,usize}> still exists), because further more work is
needed to ensure the implementation could preserve provenance [1]. And
we already other series depending on atomics [2], so it makes sense to
get some basic support in-tree.

Peter & Ingo, I take it that it's OK for me to send a PR to tip later
this week or early next week if things went well? Of course, any
feedback is welcome!

Changes since v5:

* Replace `as` cast with `ptr.cast()` in atomic/ops.rs per the
  suggestion of Andreas.
* Explicitly document `Acquire` and `Release` ordering definition per
  the suggestion of Peter.
* Rename `All` to `Any` for ordering accept traits per the suggestion of
  Andreas.
* Remove unnecessary fields in `AcquireOrRelaxed` and `ReleaseOrRelaxed`
  per the suggestion of Gary.
* Add round-trip transmutability (thanks Benno) as the safety
  requirement of `AllowAtomic` per discussion with Gary and Benno.
* Add doc alias for xchg() and cmpxchg() per the suggestion of Benno.
* Examples and documentation improvement.
* Applied Reviewed-by tags from Alice and Andreas.
