/// The VFIO API has several structs that resembles the following `Foo` structure:

/// struct ControlMessageHeader {
///     r#type: u8,
///     length: u8,
/// }
///
/// #[repr(C)]
/// pub struct __IncompleteArrayField<T>(::std::marker::PhantomData<T>);
/// #[repr(C)]
/// struct Foo {
///     some_data: ControlMessageHeader,
///     entries: __IncompleteArrayField<u32>,
/// }
/// ```
///
/// In order to allocate such a structure, `size_of::<Foo>()` would be too small because it would not
/// include any space for `entries`. To make the allocation large enough while still being aligned
/// for `Foo`, a `Vec<Foo>` is created. Only the first element of `Vec<Foo>` would actually be used
/// as a `Foo`. The remaining memory in the `Vec<Foo>` is for `entries`, which must be contiguous
/// with `Foo`. This function is used to make the `Vec<Foo>` with enough space for `count` entries.
