[PATCH 0/6] Initial Rust V4L2 support

[Daniel Almeida]

Hi all, this is my first attempt at adding Rust support to the
media subsystem.

It adds just enough support to write a clone of the virtio-camera
prototype written by my colleague, Dmitry Osipenko, available at [0].

Basically, there's support for video_device_register,
v4l2_device_register and for some ioctls in v4l2_ioctl_ops. There is
also some initial vb2 support, alongside some wrappers for some types
found in videodev2.h.

I wrote a sample Rust driver just to prove that this probes, and
that you get a message on dmesg whenever an ioctl is called.

As there is no actual implementation for any of the ioctls, this module
can misbehave with some programs. I can work around this in a future
submission.

Note that this is based on the rust branch, as opposed to rust-next. The
reasoning is simple: I expect this series to just kickstart some
discussion around the subject. Actual upstreaming can come up much
later, at which point I can rebase on the rust branch.

Lastly, the origins of this series trace back to a v4l2 virtIO driver I
was writing in Rust. As the project was eventually shelved for other
reasons, I picked both the virtIO and the v4l2 bindings into their own
patches which I am now in the process of submitting. This is to say that
I tested this code with said driver and CrosVM in the past, and it
worked ok.

Please let me know your thoughts.
