Add safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The GPU buddy allocator
implements a binary buddy system useful for GPU physical memory
allocation. nova-core will use it for physical memory allocation.

From Sashiko:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260320045711.43494-1-joelagnelf%40nvidia.com

    Does the Rust wrapper use this helper? It looks like AllocatedBlock::size()
    manually duplicates the bitwise logic (chunk_size << order) rather than
    calling this helper, which could create a divergence risk if the underlying C
    allocator implementation changes.

Many other review comments there seem to be false positive, but it might worth
confirming.

Best,
Gary
