Currently, if the `kernel::error::Result` type is in scope (which is often is, since it's in the kernel's prelude), you cannot write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when you want to use a different error type than `kernel::error::Error`. To solve this we change the error type from being hard-coded to just being a default generic parameter. This still lets you write `Result<T>` when you just want to use the `Error` error type, but also lets you write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when necessary.

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.
