From d07479b211b7a86c93883c74b8f9b1e33d06e262 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2021 17:23:16 +0200 Subject: docs: add Rust documentation Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module (e.g. drivers) written across the kernel. However, these documents contain general information that does not fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide. It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the documentation folder.
