I'm unsure about this, is there value to exposing the raw types if the rest of the public API just used the core::net types? Folks who do need to drop down to the lower-level API can always depend on uefi-raw directly.

Please note that this will be tested once #1785 is merged.

Otherwise, some users have to also pull in uefi-raw in a matching version as dependency. We however want to prevent a mix use in public API. See [0] for context.
