`FromBytes::from_bytes` comes with a few practical limitations: - It requires the bytes slice to have the same alignment as the returned type, which might not be guaranteed in the case of a byte stream, - It returns a reference, requiring the returned type to implement `Clone` if one wants to keep the value for longer than the lifetime of the slice. To overcome these when needed, add a `from_bytes_copy` with a default implementation in the trait. `from_bytes_copy` returns an owned value that is populated using an unaligned read, removing the lifetime constraint and making it usable even on non-aligned byte slices.

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 reStructuredText 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.
