Current `dma_read!`, `dma_write!` macros also use a custom
`addr_of!()`-based implementation for projecting pointers, which has
soundness issue as it relies on absence of `Deref` implementation on types.
It also has a soundness issue where it does not protect against unaligned
fields (when `#[repr(packed)]` is used) so it can generate misaligned
accesses.
This commit migrates them to use the general pointer projection
infrastructure, which handles these cases correctly.
As part of migration, the macro is updated to have an improved surface
syntax. The current macro have
dma_read!(a.b.c[d].e.f)
to mean `a.b.c` is a DMA coherent allocation and it should project into it
with `[d].e.f` and do a read, which is confusing as it makes the indexing
operator integral to the macro (so it will break if you have an array of
`CoherentAllocation`, for example).
This also is problematic as we would like to generalize
`CoherentAllocation` from just slices to arbitrary types.
Make the macro expects `dma_read!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma)` as the
canonical syntax. The index operator is no longer special and is just one
type of projection (in additional to field projection). Similarly, make
`dma_write!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma, value)` become the canonical
syntax for writing.
Another issue of the current macro is that it is always fallible. This
makes sense with existing design of `CoherentAllocation`, but once we
support fixed size arrays with `CoherentAllocation`, it is desirable to
have the ability to perform infallible indexing as well, e.g. doing a `[0]`
index of `[Foo; 2]` is okay and can be checked at build-time, so forcing
falliblity is non-ideal. To capture this, the macro is changed to use
`[idx]` as infallible projection and `[idx]?` as fallible index projection
(those syntax are part of the general projection infra). A benefit of this
is that while individual indexing operation may fail, the overall
read/write operation is not fallible.
