From: Asahi Lina <lina@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The XArray is an abstract data type which behaves like a very large
array of pointers. Add a Rust abstraction for this data type.
The initial implementation uses explicit locking on get operations and
returns a guard which blocks mutation, ensuring that the referenced
object remains alive. To avoid excessive serialization, users are
expected to use an inner type that can be efficiently cloned (such as
Arc<T>), and eagerly clone and drop the guard to unblock other users
after a lookup.
Future variants may support using RCU instead to avoid mutex locking.
This abstraction also introduces a reservation mechanism, which can be
used by alloc-capable XArrays to reserve a free slot without immediately
filling it, and then do so at a later time. If the reservation is
dropped without being filled, the slot is freed again for other users,
which eliminates the need for explicit cleanup code.
