A few new dependencies are required to remove some of the TODO items:
- A way to safely convert from byte slices to types implementing
`FromBytes`,
- A way to obtain slices and write into a `CoherentAllocation`,
- Several improvements to the `register!()` macro,
- Alignment operations to powers of two, and an equivalent to the C
`fls`,
- Support for `xa_alloc` in the XAlloc bindings.
Some items have also become obsolete:
- The auxiliary bus abstractions have been implemented and are in use,
- The ELF utilities are not considered for being part of the core kernel
bindings anymore.
- VBIOS, falcon and GPU timer have been completed.
We now have quite a few TODO entries in the code, so annotate them with
a 4 letter code representing the corresponding task in `todo.rst`. This
allows to easily find which part of the code corresponds to a given
entry (and conversely).

With all the required pieces in place, load FWSEC-FRTS onto the GSP
falcon, run it, and check that it successfully carved out the WPR2
region out of framebuffer memory.

The FWSEC firmware needs to be extracted from the VBIOS and patched with
the desired command, as well as the right signature. Do this so we are
ready to load and run this firmware into the GSP falcon and create the
FRTS region.
