Adds a new struct called `Page` that wraps a pointer to `struct page`.
This struct is assumed to hold ownership over the page, so that Rust
code can allocate and manage pages directly.

The page type has various methods for reading and writing into the page.
These methods will temporarily map the page to allow the operation. All
of these methods use a helper that takes an offset and length, performs
bounds checks, and returns a pointer to the given offset in the page.

This patch only adds support for pages of order zero, as that is all
Rust Binder needs. However, it is written to make it easy to add support
for higher-order pages in the future. To do that, you would add a const
generic parameter to `Page` that specifies the order. Most of the
methods do not need to be adjusted, as the logic for dealing with
mapping multiple pages at once can be isolated to just the
`with_pointer_into_page` method.

Rust Binder needs to manage pages directly as that is how transactions
are delivered: Each process has an mmap'd region for incoming
transactions. When an incoming transaction arrives, the Binder driver
will choose a region in the mmap, allocate and map the relevant pages
manually, and copy the incoming transaction directly into the page. This
architecture allows the driver to copy transactions directly from the
address space of one process to another, without an intermediate copy
to a kernel buffer.

This code is based on Wedson's page abstractions from the old rust
branch, but it has been modified by Alice by removing the incomplete
support for higher-order pages, by introducing the `with_*` helpers
to consolidate the bounds checking logic into a single place, and
various other changes.

What about cases where the struct page pointer is not owned or allocated 
by this wrapper? For example, pages returned vmalloc_to_page()?
Any thoughts about exposing a provision to avoid freeing those pages 
during Drop?

We've been experimenting in adapting this Page wrapper in advance for 
page management within the Nova DRM driver.

That would make a lot of sense, but this Page wrapper doesn't support
it. You are very welcome to extend it.

There are essentially two ways to go about it:

1. Change the Page struct to be a `Opaque<bindings::page>` and use the
types &Page and BoxLikeType<Page> for these two purposes. Here,
BoxLikeType would be a new type that is to Box in the same way as how
ARef is to Arc.
2. Introduce a new PageRef<'a> type that's like a reference to a page.
You can have Page deref to PageRef so that they share methods.

The second solution is easiest right now. The first solution is
probably what we want long-term.

Alice
