commit d072acda4862f095ec9056979b654cc06a22cc68 upstream.
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.

[ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of
`rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate
docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ]

rust: alloc: implement kernel `Box`2025-03-13T12:01:44ZDanilo Krummrichdakr@kernel.org2025-03-07T22:49:37Zurn:sha1:3ca8b102ef6229eb859f84f0f6a43a84a5d60c1b
commit c8cfa8d0c0b10be216861fe904ea68978b1dcc97 upstream.
`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.
