[v2,06/23] rust: alloc: implement `Vmalloc` allocator

Commit Message

Danilo Krummrich July 23, 2024, 6:09 p.m. UTC

Implement `Allocator` for `Vmalloc`, the kernel's virtually contiguous
allocator, typically used for larger objects, (much) larger than page
size.

All memory allocations made with `Vmalloc` end up in `vrealloc()`.
