[PATCH v9 06/10] rust: io: use generic read/write accessors for primitive accesses
Posted by Alexandre Courbot 2 weeks, 5 days ago
By providing the required `IoLoc` implementations on `usize`, we can
leverage the generic accessors and reduce the number of unsafe blocks in
the module.

This also allows us to directly call the generic `read/write/update`
methods with primitive types, so add examples illustrating this.
