[PATCH v3 00/16] rust: io: support register projections and remove relative registers

Currently registers work for all untyped I/O regions, which is not ideal.
It allows registers defined for device A to work for another device B and
there is no safeguarding at all.

Change this by requiring a base type for registers. `register!` can still
define registers on untyped `Region`s, although users would need to do so
explicitly and supply a concrete type.

This change makes it possible to use projection for relative registers;
relative registers can be implemented by defining new types for the I/O
subregions and just define registers for these subregion types like normal
registers.

This actually results in more ergnomic code for users of relative registers
(currently only nova-core), because non-array registers can be written to
with

    #[...]
    struct Subregion(...);

    register! {
        base: MyBase;
        SUBREGION: Subregion @ ...;
    }

    register! {
        base: Subregion;
        REG(u32) @ .. { .. }
    }

    let subregion = io_project!(bar, build: SUBREGION);
    subregion.read(REG)
    subregion.write_reg(reg)

instead of

    struct SubregionType;
    struct Subregion;
    impl RegisterBase<SubregionType> for Subregion {
        const BASE: usize = ...;
    }

    register! {
        REG(u32) @ Subregion + .. { .. }
    }

    bar.read(REG::of::<Subregion>())
    bar.write(WithBase::of::<Subregion>(), reg)

This also allows a lot more code sharing between I/O projection and
`register!` macro.

The expressiveness power of Rust declarative macros is becoming limiting,
so it is converted to a proc macro before new features being added to it.

Changes in v3:
- Convert the `register!` macro to syn.
- Add check to ensure register and alias share the same base. (Alex)
- Split transmute functionalities to `kernel::mem`. (Alex)
- Remove some stray trait bound in nova code. (Alex)
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Extract type conversion from `register!` to `Io`
- Redesign the API to be centered around regsiter projections.
  * Support register projections in `io_project!`
  * Support adding register definition without defining bitfield
  * Subregions is thus unified with other registers.
- Store projected subregions in `Falcon` for nova.
