/// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model

///
/// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
/// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
/// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
/// [`Error`] as its error type.
///
/// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
/// it should still be modeled as returning a `Result` rather than
/// just an [`Error`].
