The SZ_* constants are usize, matching the CPU pointer width. But
device address spaces have their own widths (32-bit MMIO windows,
64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.), so drivers end up casting these
constants with SZ_1M as u64 or helper functions. This adds
boilerplate with no safety benefit.
Add a SizeConstants trait with associated SZ_* constants, implemented
for u32, u64, and usize. With the trait in scope, callers write
u64::SZ_1M or u32::SZ_4K to get the constant in their device's
native width. All SZ_* values fit in a u32, so every implementation
is lossless. Each impl has a const assert to catch any future
constant that would overflow.
A define_sizes! macro generates everything from a single internal
list of names. The macro takes the target types as arguments, so
adding a new target type requires changing only the call site.
