DeviceFd::get_device_attr should be marked as unsafe, because it
allows writing to an arbitrary address. I have opened a kvm-ioctls
PR[1] to fix this. The hypervisor crate was using the function
unsafely by passing it addresses of immutable variables. I noticed
this because an optimisation change[2] in Rust 1.80.0 caused the
kvm::aarch64::gic::tests::test_get_set_icc_regs test to start failing
when built in release mode.
To fix this, I've broken up the _access functions into _set and _get
variants, with the _get variant using a pointer to a mutable variable.
This has the side effect of making these functions a bit nicer to use,
because the caller now has no need to use references at all, for
either getting or setting.
