//! Frame (physical memory page) management.
//!
//! A frame is an aligned, contiguous range of bytes in physical memory. The
//! sizes of base frames and huge frames (that are mapped as "huge pages") are
//! architecture-dependent. A frame can be mapped to virtual address spaces
//! using the page table.
//!
//! Frames can be accessed through frame handles, namely, [`Frame`]. A frame
//! handle is a reference-counted pointer to a frame. When all handles to a
//! frame are dropped, the frame is released and can be reused.  Contiguous
//! frames are managed with [`Segment`].
//!
//! There are various kinds of frames. The top-level grouping of frame kinds
//! are "typed" frames and "untyped" frames. Typed frames host Rust objects
//! that must follow the visibility, lifetime and borrow rules of Rust, thus
//! not being able to be directly manipulated. Untyped frames are raw memory
//! that can be manipulated directly. So only untyped frames can be
//!  - safely shared to external entities such as device drivers or user-space
//!    applications.
//!  - or directly manipulated with readers and writers that neglect Rust's
//!    "alias XOR mutability" rule.
//!
//! The kind of a frame is determined by the type of its metadata. Untyped
//! frames have its metadata type that implements the [`UntypedFrameMeta`]
//! trait, while typed frames don't.
//!
//! Frames can have dedicated metadata, which is implemented in the [`meta`]
//! module. The reference count and usage of a frame are stored in the metadata
//! as well, leaving the handle only a pointer to the metadata slot. Users
//! can create custom metadata types by implementing the [`AnyFrameMeta`] trait.
