-//! ## Opaque wrappers
-//!
-//! The cell types from the previous section are useful at the boundaries
-//! of code that requires interior mutability. When writing glue code that
-//! interacts directly with C structs, however, it is useful to operate
-//! at a lower level.
-//!
-//! C functions often violate Rust's fundamental assumptions about memory
-//! safety by modifying memory even if it is shared. Furthermore, C structs
-//! often start their life uninitialized and may be populated lazily.
-//!
-//! For this reason, this module provides the [`Opaque<T>`] type to opt out
-//! of Rust's usual guarantees about the wrapped type. Access to the wrapped
-//! value is always through raw pointers, obtained via methods like
-//! [`as_mut_ptr()`](Opaque::as_mut_ptr) and [`as_ptr()`](Opaque::as_ptr). These
-//! pointers can then be passed to C functions or dereferenced; both actions
-//! require `unsafe` blocks, making it clear where safety guarantees must be
-//! manually verified. For example
-//!
-//! ```ignore
-//! unsafe {
-//! let state = Opaque::<MyStruct>::uninit();
-//! qemu_struct_init(state.as_mut_ptr());
-//! }
-//! ```
-//!
-//! [`Opaque<T>`] will usually be wrapped one level further, so that
-//! bridge methods can be added to the wrapper:
-//!
-//! ```ignore
-//! pub struct MyStruct(Opaque<bindings::MyStruct>);
-//!
-//! impl MyStruct {
-//! fn new() -> Pin<Box<MyStruct>> {
-//! let result = Box::pin(unsafe { Opaque::uninit() });
-//! unsafe { qemu_struct_init(result.as_mut_ptr()) };
-//! result
-//! }
-//! }
-//! ```
-//!
-//! This pattern of wrapping bindgen-generated types in [`Opaque<T>`] provides
-//! several advantages:
-//!
-//! * The choice of traits to be implemented is not limited by the
-//! bindgen-generated code. For example, [`Drop`] can be added without
-//! disabling [`Copy`] on the underlying bindgen type
-//!
-//! * [`Send`] and [`Sync`] implementations can be controlled by the wrapper
-//! type rather than being automatically derived from the C struct's layout
-//!
-//! * Methods can be implemented in a separate crate from the bindgen-generated
-//! bindings
-//!
-//! * [`Debug`](std::fmt::Debug) and [`Display`](std::fmt::Display)
-//! implementations can be customized to be more readable than the raw C
-//! struct representation
-//!
-//! The [`Opaque<T>`] type does not include BQL validation; it is possible to
-//! assert in the code that the right lock is taken, to use it together
-//! with a custom lock guard type, or to let C code take the lock, as
-//! appropriate. It is also possible to use it with non-thread-safe
-//! types, since by default (unlike [`BqlCell`] and [`BqlRefCell`]
-//! it is neither `Sync` nor `Send`.
-//!
-//! While [`Opaque<T>`] is necessary for C interop, it should be used sparingly
-//! and only at FFI boundaries. For QEMU-specific types that need interior
-//! mutability, prefer [`BqlCell`] or [`BqlRefCell`].

-/// Stores an opaque value that is shared with C code.
-///
-/// Often, C structs can changed when calling a C function even if they are
-/// behind a shared Rust reference, or they can be initialized lazily and have
-/// invalid bit patterns (e.g. `3` for a [`bool`]). This goes against Rust's
-/// strict aliasing rules, which normally prevent mutation through shared
-/// references.
-///
-/// Wrapping the struct with `Opaque<T>` ensures that the Rust compiler does not
-/// assume the usual constraints that Rust structs require, and allows using
-/// shared references on the Rust side.
-///
-/// `Opaque<T>` is `#[repr(transparent)]`, so that it matches the memory layout
-/// of `T`.
