For some architectures, such as X86_64, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is not
resolvable for bindgen. E.g. due to being defined as
__alignof__(unsigned long long).
Hence, we have to create a rust helper, i.e. let the C compiler evaluate
the expression and store it in a const.
However, if for other architectures, such as arm64,
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN does evaluate to something that can be directly
processed by bindgen, we end up with multiple definitions of
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN in the generated bindings.
error[E0428]: the name `ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN` is defined multiple times

...
134545 | pub const ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN: usize = 8;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN` redefined here
|
= note: `ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN` must be defined only once in the value namespace of this module
To fix this up, add ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to the blocklist of bindgen,
such that we always only generate the symbol from the rust helper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
