[PATCH v10 4/8] rust: ffi: Convert pub use to pub mod and create ffi module
From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Wed Feb 18 2026 - 15:56:26 EST
Convert `pub use ffi` to `pub mod ffi` in lib.rs and create the
corresponding `rust/kernel/ffi/mod.rs` module file. Also re-export all C
type definitions from `ffi` crate so that existing `kernel::ffi::c_int`
etc. paths continue to work.
This prepares the ffi module to host additional sub-modules in later
patches (clist).
