The driver model defines the lifetime of the private data stored in (and
owned by) a bus device to be valid from when the driver is bound to a
device (i.e. from successful probe()) until the driver is unbound from
the device.

This is already taken care of by the Rust implementation of the driver
model. However, we still ask drivers to return a Result&lt;Pin&lt;KBox&lt;Self&gt;&gt;&gt;
from probe().

Unlike in C, where we do not have the concept of initializers, but
rather deal with uninitialized memory, drivers can just return an
impl PinInit&lt;Self, Error&gt; instead.

This contributes to more clarity to the fact that a driver returns it's
device private data in probe() and the Rust driver model owns the data,
manages the lifetime and - considering the lifetime - provides (safe)
accessors for the driver.

Hence, let probe() functions return an impl PinInit&lt;Self, Error&gt; instead
of Result&lt;Pin&lt;KBox&lt;Self&gt;&gt;&gt;.

<content type='text'>
Update nova to import `ARef` from `sync::aref` instead of `types`.

This aligns with the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to sync.

<title>drm: nova-drm: add initial driver skeleton</title>

Add the initial nova-drm driver skeleton.

nova-drm is connected to nova-core through the auxiliary bus and
implements the DRM parts of the nova driver stack.

For now, it implements the fundamental DRM abstractions, i.e. creates a
DRM device and registers it, exposing a three sample IOCTLs.

  DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GETPARAM
    - provides the PCI bar size from the bar that maps the GPUs VRAM
      from nova-core

  DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GEM_CREATE
    - creates a new dummy DRM GEM object and returns a handle

  DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GEM_INFO
    - provides metadata for the DRM GEM object behind a given handle

I implemented a small userspace test suite [1] that utilizes this
interface.
