The prefix as_* should not be used for a constructor. Constructors
usually use the prefix from_* instead.
Some prior art in the stdlib: Box::from_raw, CString::from_raw,
Rc::from_raw, Arc::from_raw, Waker::from_raw, File::from_raw_fd.
There is also prior art in the kernel crate: cpufreq::Policy::from_raw,
fs::File::from_raw_file, Kuid::from_raw, ARef::from_raw,
SeqFile::from_raw, VmaNew::from_raw, Io::from_raw.

When building the kernel on Arch Linux using on x86_64 with tools:
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.84.0 (9fc6b4312 2025-01-07)
$ clang --version
clang version 19.1.7
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
The following symbols are generated:
$ nm vmlinux | rg ' _R' | rustfilt | rg faux
ffffffff81959ae0 T <kernel::faux::Registration>::new
ffffffff81959b40 T <kernel::faux::Registration as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop
However, these Rust symbols are wrappers around bindings in the C faux
code. Inlining these functions removes the middle-man wrapper function
After applying this patch, the above function signatures disappear.

A little late in the review of the faux device interface, we added the
ability to specify a parent device when creating new faux devices - but
this never got ported over to the rust bindings. So, let's add the missing
argument now so we don't have to convert other users later down the line.

I think this change got missed during review, we don't need
#[repr(transparent)] since Registration just holds a single NonNull. This
attribute had originally been added by me when I was still figuring out how
the bindings should look like but got committed by mistake. So, just drop
it.

This introduces a module for working with faux devices in rust, along with
adding sample code to show how the API is used. Unlike other types of
devices, we don't provide any hooks for device probe/removal - since these
are optional for the faux API and are unnecessary in rust.
