Background

Building RustaCUDA version 0.1.3 yields the following error when building on ARMv8:

error[E0308]: mismatched types
   --> /home/root/.cargo/registry/src/mygithub.libinneed.workers.dev-1ecc6299db9ec823/rustacuda-0.1.3/src/device.rs:376:48

    |                                                ^^^ expected `u8`, found `i8`
    |
help: change the type of the numeric literal from `i8` to `u8`

    |                                                 ~~

In the cuda_runtime.rs bindings and in the cuda.rs bindings from cuda-sys, these structs are raw c_char's:
cuda_runtime.rs:

#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Debug, Default, Copy, Clone, Hash, PartialOrd, Ord, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct CUuuid_st {
    pub bytes: [::std::os::raw::c_char; 16usize],
}

cuda.rs

#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Debug, Default, Copy, Clone, Hash, PartialOrd, Ord, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct CUuuid_st {
    pub bytes: [::std::os::raw::c_char; 16usize],
}

Note that this doesn't happen when building on x86.

Proposed fix:

Change to u8 as suggested
