[PATCH v7 05/10] rust: bitmap: add contiguous area operations

From: Eliot Courtney

Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 03:10:29 EST


Add bindings for area operations on bitmaps. Each one is
made safe by adding some extra checks compared to the underlying C code
(for example, checking bounds) and with additional checks to catch
likely erroneous usage if `CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED` is on.

Add tests demonstrating the edge cases.
