The one in the `kernel` prelude points to the kernel ones (the core
ones should not be used anymore).

It is because we define them in a crate called `ffi`, not in the
`kernel` one; and we also re-export it in `kernel`.

In any case, from now on, one should just refer to them directly as
`c_*` (please use the `kernel` prelude for that) -- please see:

    https://docs.kernel.org/rust/coding-guidelines.html#c-ffi-types

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Miguel
