Throughout the tree, use the strict provenance APIs stabilized in Rust 1.84.0[1]. Retain backwards-compatibility by introducing forwarding functions at the `kernel` crate root along with polyfills for rustc < 1.84.0.
Use `#[allow(clippy::incompatible_msrv)]` to avoid warnings on rustc < 1.84.0 as our MSRV is 1.78.0.
In the `kernel` crate, enable the strict provenance lints on rustc >= 1.84.0; do this in `lib.rs` rather than `Makefile` to avoid introducing compiler flags that are dependent on the rustc version in use.
As Benno pointed out on v4, this should probably include:
Note that the enablement of the strict provenance lints does not extend to the `kernel` crate's doctests.
