Please split this sentence up into smaller parts. Also "standard ones"
sounds weird to me, `core` and `kernel` are crates and not modules.

There are also some occurrences of `kernel::` & `core::` in proc macros,
for example:
- rust/macros/kunit.rs:129
- rust/macros/module.rs:347
- ...

Could you also add those to the patch? Thanks!
