This is v11 of the Rust bindings for DRM GEM shmem, a 5-patch series from Lyude Paul. The series adds SGTable and VMap abstractions to the Rust shmem GEM bindings, with supporting C-side helper exports. The first three patches are straightforward cleanup/export patches. Patches 4 and 5 are the substantial Rust additions introducing `SGTable` and `VMap` types with proper lifetime management and devres-based revocation.

**Overall assessment: Mostly good, with a few concerns worth addressing.**

The series is well-structured and shows solid understanding of the locking and safety invariants. The devres-based approach for revoking SGTable mappings on driver-unbind is a reasonable design choice. The VMap abstraction with compile-time size checking via const generics and the `Io` trait integration is clean.

Key concerns:
1. **Patch 2**: The new `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()` doesn't check for NULL `shmem->sgt` before dereferencing, while the original code did (the caller in `drm_gem_shmem_release` guards with `if (shmem->sgt)`). The Rust side calls it inside error paths where sgt is known-valid, but the exported C function has no self-protection.
2. **Patch 4**: The `SGTableMap` holds a raw `NonNull<Object<T>>` without holding a reference count, creating a potential use-after-free if the `Devres` outlives the GEM object (though the devres cleanup ordering likely prevents this in practice).
3. **Patch 5**: The `Clone` for `VMapOwned` uses `unwrap_unchecked()` which is unsound if `drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked` can fail for reasons other than the initial mapping (e.g., memory pressure for the refcount bump path).
