This breaks the build like this:
/nix/store/f3k0rdhcd2cx57phx755c2xixgifw5m5-binutils-2.42/bin/ld: Unexpected GOT/PLT entries detected!
/nix/store/f3k0rdhcd2cx57phx755c2xixgifw5m5-binutils-2.42/bin/ld: Unexpected run-time procedure linkages detected!

The first assumption[1] we had was that the `aarch64-unknown-none`
target was missing from rustc and that this was the cause for the
regression.
However, it turns out that the relevant code from `rustc` wasn't used
anyways because the Makefile does `--sysroot /dev/null`[2] which prevents
rustc from using its own libcore. So luckily we don't have to patch the
Rust bootstrap to get aarch64-linux back working[3].
In fact, the Rust part seems broken for both 6.10 and 6.11[4], but I
decided to not bother since none of those are longterm versions.
So all that's left here is to enable Rust for aarch64-linux because it
clearly works[5].

[3] Of course I only realized this _after_ I spent some time hacking a rustc
patch together 🙃
[4] This broke with
error[E0463]: can't find crate for `core`

= note: the `aarch64-unknown-none` target may not be installed
= help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none`
= help: consider building the standard library from source with `cargo build -Zbuild-std`
[5] While the build is fine, the VM tests are still panicking, but
that's also the case for `kernel-generic` because of a 9p
regression:
