[PATCH v5 20/20] rust: io: implement `IoSysMap`

From: Gary Guo

Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 10:55:28 EST


Add an enum as sum type for `Mmio` and `SysMem`. This serves similar
purpose of `iosys_map`. Thanks to Rust's type system, all of projection and
struct read/write can be handled by the generic I/O projection mechanism
(i.e. `io_project!`, `io_read!, `io_write!`) for free, and there is no need
to provide things like `iosys_map_rd_field` or `iosys_map_wr_field`. An
enum type also makes it very easy to construct or destruct.

This could be made more generic by implementing on a general purpose sum
type like `Either`; however this is kept specific unless a need arises that
warrants this to be generic over other I/O backends.
