Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.

This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

rust: alloc: implement kernel `Box` 2024-10-15T20:56:59+00:00 Danilo Krummrich dakr@kernel.org 2024-10-04T15:41:15+00:00 c8cfa8d0c0b10be216861fe904ea68978b1dcc97 `Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`. In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains independent from unstable features.
