The unstable new_uninit feature enables various library APIs to create uninitialized containers, such as `Box::assume_init()`. This is necessary to build abstractions that directly initialize memory at the target location, instead of doing copies through the stack. Will be used by the DRM scheduler abstraction in the kernel crate, and by field-wise initialization (e.g. using `place!()` or a future replacement macro which may itself live in `kernel`) in driver crates.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
