Instead of taking binary string literals, take string ones instead,
making it easier for users to define a module, i.e. instead of
calling `module!` like:
module! {
...
name: b"rust_minimal",
...
}
now it is called as:
module! {
...
name: "rust_minimal",
...
}
Module names, aliases and license strings are restricted to
ASCII only. However, the author and the description allows UTF-8.
For simplicity (avoid parsing), escape sequences and raw string
literals are not yet handled.

This crate contains all the procedural macros ("proc macros")
shared by all the kernel.
Procedural macros allow to create syntax extensions. They run at
compile-time and can consume as well as produce Rust syntax.
For instance, the `module!` macro that is used by Rust modules
is implemented here. It allows to easily declare the equivalent
information to the `MODULE_*` macros in C modules, e.g.:
module! {
type: RustMinimal,
name: b"rust_minimal",
author: b"Rust for Linux Contributors",
description: b"Rust minimal sample",
license: b"GPL",
}
