[PATCH v2 00/14] rnull: add configfs, remote completion to rnull

[Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@kernel.org>]

This series adds configuration via configfs and remote completion to
the rnull driver. The series also includes a set of changes to the
rust block device driver API: a few cleanup patches, and a few features
supporting the rnull changes.

The series moves the raw buffer formatting logic from `kernel::block`
to `kernel::string` and also improves that logic a bit.

This series is a smaller subset of the patches available in the
downstream rnull tree. I hope to minimize the delta between upstream
and downstream over the next few kernel releases.

Changes in v2:
- Rework formatter logic. Add two new formatters that write to slices,
  one of which adds a trailing null byte.
- Reorder and split patches so that changes are more clear.
- Fix a typo in soft-irq patch summary.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250616-rnull-up-v6-16-v1-0-a4168b8e76b2@kernel.org
