New version is now at:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/2025020324-thermal-quilt-1bae@gregkh

I've renamed it from "virtual" to "faux" as virtual can easily get
confused with virtio stuff, and we already have a /sys/devices/virtual/
that is for something else at the moment.

Let me know if there's anything I can change that would make a rust
binding simpler.
