**Purpose and Scope:**
This v8 patch series introduces Rust infrastructure for GPU memory management in the nova-core driver. The series comprises three patches:
1. A generic C linked list interface (`clist`) for Rust FFI
2. Rust bindings for the GPU buddy allocator
3. Kconfig integration to enable GPU_BUDDY for nova-core

**Architecture and Design Approach:**
The series takes a layered approach, providing low-level FFI abstractions over C data structures and memory allocators. The design follows Rust safety patterns with pin-initialization, Arc reference counting, and careful lifetime management.

**Series Organization:**
Well-structured with clear separation of concerns. The dependency on drm-misc-next is documented.

**Major Strengths:**
- Comprehensive safety documentation with invariant specifications
- Extensive doctests demonstrating usage patterns
- Careful consideration of synchronization and thread safety
- Good integration with Rust pin-initialization infrastructure
- Excellent validation logic (e.g., incompatible flags detection)

**Major Concerns:**
- Several critical API design issues identified during review
- File organization needs improvement
- Logic error in linked list state detection
- Concurrent modification assumptions may be unsound
