Certain drivers used RawPtr and others used u64. To unify these in preparation for a refactor, they are replaced them with u64 instead.
The removed types were mostly unused and provided minimal benefit over a simple u64. Instead they just introduced overhead of converting to and from the pointer types. In the future we should think about introducing some type to abstract over phys/virtual addresses etc, or provide new pointer types with some security benefit like bounds checking or something else useful.
