In Rust 1.78.0, Clippy introduced the `ref_as_ptr` lint [1]:
> Using `as` casts may result in silently changing mutability or type.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]:
> The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that
> might go undetected due to the type being inferred.
>
> The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always
> specifying the type.
Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call
contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying
the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`.
The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters.
There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was
revealed to be a `useless_conversion`.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

Macros and auto-generated code should use absolute paths, `::core::...`
and `::kernel::...`, for core and kernel references.
This prevents issues where user-defined modules named `core` or `kernel`
could be picked up instead of the `core` or `kernel` crates.
Thus clean some references up.

[ Applied `rustfmt`. Reworded slightly. - Miguel ]

Most subsystems use some kind of ID to match devices and drivers. Hence,
we have to provide Rust drivers an abstraction to register an ID table
for the driver to match.
Generally, those IDs are subsystem specific and hence need to be
implemented by the corresponding subsystem. However, the `IdArray`,
`IdTable` and `RawDeviceId` types provide a generalized implementation
that makes the life of subsystems easier to do so.
