What would you have me link to? With this patch applied and using
https://github.com/bee-headers/homebrew-bee-headers I was able to build a kernel
on my apple silicon mac. Relevant config:

tamird@Tamirs-MBP linux % rg -N '_RUST' .config
CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION=108100
CONFIG_RUST_IS_AVAILABLE=y
CONFIG_RUST=y
CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT="rustc 1.81.0 (eeb90cda1 2024-09-04)"

CONFIG_HAVE_RUST=y
# CONFIG_RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RUST_NULL is not set

generalized it some. I'll use Co-developed-by.
