WIP: Simple Rust driver that touches real hardware

Proof-of-concept of a `bcm2835-rng` Rust driver. This is the hardware
random-number generator present on Raspberry Pi Zero(W), Classic,
Two, and Three. It's a convenient starting point because:
- it's ubiquitous: a Pi Zero can be purchased for $10
- it has QEMU Support (-M raspi2)
- it's very simple: just 0x10 bytes of register space

The hwrng is exposed as a Rust `miscdev` named `rust_hwrng`. Reading
its devnode will produce up to 4 random bytes at a time:
pi@raspberrypi:~$ hexdump -C /dev/rust_hwrng
00000000  ef 9c 19 8a                                       |....|
00000004

Tested on a real Raspberry Pi Zero-W, and QEMU (-M raspi2).

Consider this to be a "pencil outline": most of the new Rust abstractions
I've introduced here are clunky, inelegant and incomplete - my Rust is very
poor. But I'm sure that collective wisdom can improve them. The `unsafe`
sections need careful review too.

Rust abstractions/infrastructure were introduced for the following kernel concepts:
- `struct platform_device` / `struct platform_driver`
- per-device driver data
- `struct regmap`

How to run on QEMU
==================
Download a Raspbian image. I used `2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img`.
It will consist of two partitions. Discover their offsets using:
```sh
$ fdisk -l 2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img
Device                                    Boot  Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img1        8192  532479  524288  256M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img2      532480 3645439 3112960  1.5G 83 Linux
```

Mount the second partition on your PC: (note how the offset is multiplied by 512)
```sh
$ mount -o loop,offset=$((512*532480)) 2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img /mnt
Comment out everything in /etc/ld.so.preload - otherwise the Raspbian rootfs cannot support
a mainline kernel:
$ vi /etc/ld.so.preload # comment everything out
$ umount /mnt
```

Build the kernel for arm 32-bit:
```sh
$ make bcm2835_defconfig # defconfig modded so `bcm2835-rng` binds to Rust
$ make zImage dtbs modules
```

Start QEMU:
```sh
  # to boot mainline, make sure that /etc/ld.so.preload is commented out
  # in the Raspbian image.
qemu-system-arm \
    -M raspi2 \
    -append "rw earlyprintk loglevel=8 console=ttyAMA0,115200 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait" \
    -cpu arm1176 \
    -dtb bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dts \
    -hda ./2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img \
    -kernel zImage \
    -m 1G \
    -smp 4 \
    -nographic \
;
```

How to run on a Raspberry Pi Zero(W)
====================================
Follow the instructions for QEMU above. Deploy the Raspbian image to SD card.
Copy zImage and bcm2835-rpi-zero-w.dtb to Raspbian's first (boot) partition:
```
	zImage			-> boot partition: kernel.img
	bcm2835-rpi-zero-w.dtb	-> boot partition: bcm2708-rpi-0-w.dtb
```
If you'd like wifi to keep working, also copy the kernel modules you built to
Raspbian's second partition:
```sh
$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=<somewhere>
$ cp -rfa <somewhere> <Raspbian Partition> # should end up in /lib/modules/5.12.0-rc4+/
```
