Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Rust: Fix typedefs for resource_size_t and phys_addr_t

This changes ResourceSize to use the resource_size_t typedef (currently
ResourceSize is defined as phys_addr_t), and moves ResourceSize to
kernel::io and defines PhysAddr next to it. Any usage of ResourceSize or
bindings::phys_addr_t that references a physical address is updated to
use the new PhysAddr typedef.

I included some cc stable annotations because I think it is useful to
backport this to v6.18. This is to make backporting drivers to the 6.18
LTS easier as we will not have to worry about changing imports when
backporting.
