This validates at compile time that the signatures match what is in the
header file. It highlights one annoyance with the compile-time check,
which is that it can only be used with functions marked unsafe.
If the function is not unsafe, then this error is emitted:
error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
--> <linux>/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:987:19

986 | #[export]

987 | pub extern "C" fn drm_panic_qr_max_data_size(version: u8, url_len: usize) -> usize {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected unsafe fn, found safe fn
|
= note: expected fn item `unsafe extern "C" fn(_, _) -> _ {kernel::bindings::drm_panic_qr_max_data_size}`
found fn item `extern "C" fn(_, _) -> _ {drm_panic_qr_max_data_size}`
The signature declarations are moved to a header file so it can be
included in the Rust bindings helper, and the extern keyword is removed
as it is unnecessary.

[ Fixed `rustfmt`. Moved on top the unsafe requirement comment to follow
the usual style, and slightly reworded it for clarity. Formatted
bindings helper comment. - Miguel ]

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.
