[v7,06/26] rust: alloc: implement `Vmalloc` allocator

Commit Message

Danilo Krummrich Sept. 11, 2024, 10:52 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()`.
