That's not ok as you want that option enabled on systems that have those
broken processors which need this option for proper security.  You would
be forcing people to disable this to enable Rust support?
Yes, that is what would happen. But if we want to avoid the warnings
and be proper (even if there are no real users of Rust yet), until the
Rust compiler supports it and we wire it up, the only way is that, no?
Then the main CONFIG_HAVE_RUST should have that dependency, don't force
it on each individual driver.

But note, that is probably not a good marketing statement as you are
forced to make your system more insecure in order to use the "secure"
language :(
