Currently, for `const`s that bindgen doesn't recognise, we define a
helper constant with
const <TYPE> BINDINGS_<NAME> = <NAME>;
in `bindings_helper.h` and then we put
pub const <NAME>: <TYPE> = BINDINGS_<NAME>;
in `bindings/lib.rs`. This is fine since we currently only have 3
constants that are defined this way, but is going to be more annoying
when more constants are added since every new constant needs to be
defined in two places.
This patch changes the way we define constant helpers to
const <TYPE> RUST_CONST_HELPER_<NAME> = <NAME>;
and then use `sed` to postprocess Rust code generated by bindgen to
remove the distinct prefix, so users of the `bindings` crate can refer
to the name directly.

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.
