Not introduced in this PR, but this function isn't generic, so I am not sure what *mut T is talking about

I think this is a copy-pasta from NonNull::dangling

I suggest adding some some comments about this function given its name.
Specifically, that it returns a valid, u8 pointer that is valid for the entire life of the process. Suitable for allocations of 0 length.
I realize it wasn't introduced in this PR, but the name is confusing to me -- Maybe calling it arbtrary_ptr() or something would be less confusing 🤔

Yeah dangling is an odd name, but is based on what the standard library calls it. I have added some docs to this effect
