Add a simple dma coherent allocator rust abstraction. Based on
Andreas Hindborg's dma abstractions from the rnvme driver, which
was also based on earlier work by Wedson Almeida Filho.

By the way, I tested this using a slightly modified version of the sample Rust platform driver
from Danilo’s v3 submission. It’s working as intended :)

With the change above, you can add:
