The two methods added take a slice of bytes and return those bytes in a specific type. These methods are useful when we need to transform the stream of bytes into specific type. Since the `is_aligned` method for pointer types has been stabilized in `1.79` version and is being used in this patch, I'm enabling the feature. In this case, using this method is useful to check the alignment and avoid a giant boilerplate, such as `(foo.as_ptr() as usize) % core::mem::align_of::<T>() == 0`. Also add `#[allow(clippy::incompatible_msrv)]` where needed until the MSRV is updated to `1.79`.

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.
