 * CUBELinux: the `cube(2)` syscall — the kernel's coordinate interface.
 *
 * The store's operations live in Rust (drivers/cube/cubelinux_store.rs) and are already
 * proven: they append to a write-ahead log durably, replay it, fold it into the image, and
 * survive a torn tail. What was missing was a way for a program to *call* them. This file is
 * that way and nothing else.
 *
 * Why C for the entry point: syscalls are defined by `SYSCALL_DEFINE*`, which is a C macro
 * that registers the function in the syscall table with the right calling convention. Rust in
 * this kernel cannot define one, so the entry point, the user copies and the argument
 * validation are here, and the Rust side sees only kernel memory and validated numbers. That
 * split is deliberate: everything that touches a userspace pointer is in one place, and
 * everything that touches the store's bytes is in the other.

 * A fixed `/dev/vda` was honest while a virtual machine was the only place this ran; the same

 * a boot parameter, and the box names its device on the kernel command line:
 *

 *
 * (`__setup` rather than `module_param_string`, deliberately. Built-in code registers module
 * parameters under its *object's* name — `MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX` is `KBUILD_MODNAME "."` when
 * MODULE is not defined — so a `module_param_string` here would answer to
 * `cube_syscall.store_device`, named after this file rather than after the driver. That is a
 * name nobody would guess and one more thing to get wrong at 3am. A `__setup` parameter is
 * named exactly as written.)
 *
 * This lives in C because this kernel's Rust can express only *integer* module parameters —
 * rust/kernel/module_param.rs implements `ModuleParam` through `ParseInt` and nothing else —
 * and a path is not an integer. The Rust side asks for the string; it does not store it.
 *
 * The default keeps the boot gate's shape, so the QEMU rehearsal is unchanged.
