[PATCH 0/5] Add READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to Rust

There are currently a few places in the kernel where we use volatile
reads when we really should be using `READ_ONCE`. To make it possible to
replace these with proper `READ_ONCE` calls, introduce a Rust version of
`READ_ONCE`.

A new config option CONFIG_ARCH_USE_CUSTOM_READ_ONCE is introduced so
that Rust is able to use conditional compilation to implement READ_ONCE
in terms of either a volatile read, or by calling into a C helper
function, depending on the architecture.

This series is intended to be merged through ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
