Linux 6.7 is the oldest kernel with Rust support, so the config part should fail hard if 6.6 or older requests the Rust feature. Until now this was silently ignored[1]. It turned out that Rust for Linux 6.11 or older fails for unknown reasons[2]. We decided to not bother since it's not a longterm kernel and 6.12 seems fine again. As a result, marking this as broken.

Things done
Note: I think it's more appropriate to fail with a custom message for kernels <6.7 with Rust enabled, so I didn't use
