This series includes two Rust patches:
Patch 1 adds KUnit tests for alignment guarantees in Rust allocators.
Validates kmalloc handling of standard (128B) and page-size (8KB)
alignments.
Confirms vmalloc/kvmalloc reject oversized alignment requests.
Ensures Rust allocators respect kernel allocation constraints.
Patch 2 improves the documentation for KVec::as_slice() by adding a
code example. This shows how to use the method with push operations and
assertions.
Both patches are co-developed with Geliang Tang. Tested on x86_64 using
KUnit.
