+// TODO: Implement this crate, which will be done piece-by-piece. Platform will
+// include:
+//   1. The Allowed and AllowedSlice abstractions for sharing memory with the
+//      kernel
+//   2. The PlatformApi trait and Platform implementation.
+//   3. A system call trait so that Platform works in both real Tock apps and
+//      unit test environments.
