/// The kernel's [`Box`] type -- a heap allocation for a single value of type `T`.
///
/// This is the kernel's version of the Rust stdlib's `Box`. There are several differences,
/// for example no `noalias` attribute is emitted and partially moving out of a `Box` is not
/// supported. There are also several API differences, e.g. `Box` always requires an [`Allocator`]
/// implementation to be passed as generic, page [`Flags`] when allocating memory and all functions
/// that may allocate memory are fallible.
///
/// `Box` works with any of the kernel's allocators, e.g. [`Kmalloc`], [`Vmalloc`] or [`KVmalloc`].
/// There are aliases for `Box` with these allocators ([`KBox`], [`VBox`], [`KVBox`]).
///
/// When dropping a [`Box`], the value is also dropped and the heap memory is automatically freed.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// let b = KBox::<u64>::new(24_u64, GFP_KERNEL)?;
///
/// assert_eq!(*b, 24_u64);
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
