I guess `rusttoolchainavailable` would have been a better name, i.e.
it is only about the toolchain, not about the kernel config

rustavailable - Checks whether the Rust toolchain is
available and, if not, explains why.

By the way, I have had this patch around for RANDSTRUCT a long time:

https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20241119185747.862544-1-ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx/

More than glad if someone confirms it works for them...
