rust: io: add read_val and write_val functions on Io

Browse source

Provide `read_val` and `write_val` that allow I/O views to be accessed when
they're narrowed down to just views of primitives.

This is used to provide `io_read!` and `io_write!` macros, which are
generalized version of current `dma_read!` and `dma_write!` macro that work
for all types that implement `Io`.

Note though `io_read!` and `io_write!` only works if backend implements
`IoCapable` for the type; which is typically only implemented for
atomically accessible primitives. `dma_read!` and `dma_write!` currently
supports them via `read_volatile` and `write_volatile`; this can be
undesirable for aggregates as LLVM may turn them to multiple instructions
to access parts and re-assemble, even if they could be combined to a single
instruction. Thus, `io_read!()` and `io_write!()` does not fully replace
`dma_read!()` and `dma_write!()` in this scenario. The ability to
read/write aggregates (when atomicity is of no concern) is better served
with copying primitives (e.g. memcpy_{from,to}io).
