U64 usize mess fix #60

Closed Amjad50 closed 9 months ago

Amjad50 commented 9 months ago

Summary

Improve the handling of memory addresses types in the kernel, usize and u64

Also added some improvements to align related functions, and MemSize

Related issue

Fixes #16

Changes

Changed MemSize to use generic. Now can be u64 or usize (or technically any number).
Used usize for virtual addresses and u64 for physical addresses and established documentation on this note.
Improved align related functions (is_aligned, align_down...) to be implemented for usize and u64
Because of all the above. Reduced the as _ casts in the code.
