[PATCH] rust: core: implement rx580 state optimization engine and c-to-rust char dev

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

This patch introduces an automated indexed state mechanism to optimize
VRAM latency and command loops for the Radeon RX 580 architecture.
Additionally, it provides a converted C-to-Rust sample char driver.
