[$] RVKMS and Rust KMS bindings

At the 2024 X.Org Developers
Conference (XDC), Lyude Paul gave a talk on the work she has been doing as part of the Nova project, which is an effort build an NVIDIA GPU driver in Rust. She wanted to provide an introduction to RVKMS, which is being used to develop Rust kernel mode setting (KMS) bindings; RVKMS is a port of the virtual KMS (VKMS) driver to Rust. In addition, she wanted to give her opinion on Rust, and why she thinks it is a 'game-changer for the kernel', noting that the reasons are not related to the oft-mentioned, 'headline' feature of the language: memory safety.
