This patch series is a mashup of cleanups, bugfixes and feature additions for
the Rust XArray abstractions.
- Patch 1 starts by fixing minor formatting issues and bringing use
statements up to date with the new coding guidelines.
- Patch 2-3 add some minor convenience functionality.
- Patch 4 adds an abstraction for the C `xa_state` structure. This is a
prerequisite for all the subsequent patches.
- Patch 5 removes an unnecessary rcu lock in `xarray::Guard::load`.
- Patch 6 is a simplifying refactor of `xarray::Guard::load`.
- Patch 7 adds two new methods for finding items with keys that are larger
than a given integer.
- Patch 8 adds an entry API.
- Patch 9-10 adds support for object caches based on sheafs.
- Patch 11 adds preloading to the new entry API.
The feature additions in this series are dependencies for the rust null
block driver, most of which is still downstream.
Best regards,
Andreas

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on v6.19-rc8.
- Update the cover letter.
- Implement preloading with sheafs.
- Investigate generating RUST_CONST_HELPER_XAS_RESTART as pointer -> Not possible.
- Correct wording of commit message for patch "rust: xarray: use `xas_load` instead of `xa_load` in `Guard::load`".
- Correct wording of commit message for patch "rust: xarray: add `find_next` and `find_next_mut`".
- Remove last patch (lockdep static key fix) from series, to be sent separately.
- Expand note on why store to occupied slot cannot fail.
- Change signature of `OccupiedEntry::swap` to match core::mem::swap.
- Move // NOTEs about storing NULL closer to relevant checks.
- Move `insert_internal` to `XArrayState`.
- Share logic between `find_next` and `find_next_entry`.
- Rename `XArray::get_entry` to `XArray::entry`.
- Make `load_next` a method on `XArrayState`.
- Move load logic to `XArrayState`.
- Use `PhantomData` to capture lifetime of `Guard` for `XArrayState`.
