Added
AtomicU8-backedsecurity_stategetter/setter toStreamContext - β

Building
Prerequisites
- Rust 1.75.0 or later (automatically managed by
rust-toolchain.toml) - No external dependencies required for default features (stdlib only)
- Optional: serde 1.0+ for serialization support
Feature Flags
The library supports flexible feature flags for customization:
# Default (all features)
[]
= "1.0"
# Minimal (smallest binary)
[]
= { = "1.0", = false, = ["std"] }
# With serialization
[]
= { = "1.0", = ["serde"] }
# Custom combination
[]
= { = "1.0", = false,
features = ["std", "pasid", "two-stage"] }
Available Features:
std(default) - Standard library supportpasid(default) - PASID (Process Address Space ID) supporttwo-stage(default) - Two-stage translation supportcache(default) - TLB cache supportserde(optional) - Serialization/deserialization supportfull- All features enabledminimal- Only std (minimal footprint)
