[PATCH v2 0/2] Take ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN into account for build-time XArray check

[Alice Ryhl]

The Rust bindings for XArray include a build-time check to ensure that
you can only use the XArray with pointers that are 4-byte aligned.
Because of that, there is currently a build failure if you attempt to
create an XArray<KBox<T>> where T is a 1-byte or 2-byte aligned type.
However, this error is incorrect as KBox<_> is guaranteed to be a
pointer that comes from kmalloc, and kmalloc always produces pointers
that are at least 4-byte aligned.

To fix this, we augment the compile-time logic that computes the
alignment of KBox<_> to take the minimum alignment of its allocator into
account.

Intended to land through alloc-next under the RUST [ALLOC] entry.
