Implement #31 for bitmap.
Extra init/fini function for API consistency, but not needed.
Checkpatch another header.

Convert area/area_linux to new error handler.
Implement #31 for area.
Checkpatch area

Note that area_linux is still using a dynamic data structure no matter
what: a bitmask to the set of authorized nodes. The conversion to
aml_bitmap wouldn't help as there's no default value available for all
nodes on that type (similar to numa_all_nodes_ptr).

In POSIX land, error codes are positive integers, returned by functions
as a negative value, but assigned to errno as a positive value.

Use that chance to checkpatch the files.

Using the conf will allow us to make incremental adds to this list.

Implement more style checks

See merge request !37

checkpatch is the linter from the Linux kernel. This should provide a
good amount of validation on the codestyle of the repo.

Only goes on main header and basic c file for now.

The source repo has been reorganized, but the repoquality checks were
not updated. Also make sure that style checks happen early, to fail the
CI quickly.

Improve overall library API consistency

Closes #16

See merge request !44

Fixes #16.

Same as the rest.

We're starting to agree on one main header for all the generic APIs of
building blocks, struct definitions included, and one header per
specific implementation.

Improve the spelling while we're at it.

[test] add area test for linux

See merge request !45

[refactor] redesign areas

Closes #23, #20, #15, #5, and #12

See merge request !43

Remove DMA move operations

See merge request !41

Since we removed `move` from the dma API, bindings are now useless.

Poorly supported feature that doesn't play well with the rest of the
library and limits what we can do in the future.

[feature/ci] add bitmap methods, fasten tests

See merge request !42

[feature] add error codes and functions

See merge request !39

[fix] use local headers in aml.h

See merge request !40

To ensure that unit tests include the right version of the code, aml.h
should include local header. This also works for installed programs.

[refactor] use autoconf + m4 for version mngmt

See merge request !36

Use m4 to define autoconf-level version variables, following the naming
scheme of semver.org

To make use of these variables in the headers and sources, a
generated-header is added in aml/utils/version.h

Also add a simple test for that part of the lib.

Aml version

See merge request !35

Continue splitting headers.

See merge request !34

The overall strategy for now is to split the implementations into
distinct headers, but keep the generic APIs inside the main aml.h

[doc] add documentation on design/workflow

Closes #29

See merge request !33

Document design principles, coding guidelines, contribution workflow.
