Research direction
Start with Microsoft/config-wsl and review how filesystem and networking kernel options are organized. Add the requested AFS, AF_RXRPC, and RXKAD settings, then verify that the WSL2 kernel configuration builds successfully with these options.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
AFS/AuriStorFS filesystem support is available in the Linux kernel. Many distributions enable the required functionality in their kernel builds. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL (9.2 and later). As many of these distributions are available for use with WSL2 it would be useful if the microsoft-standard-WSL2 kernels offered the functionality required by the userland packages provided by the distributions.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please add the following to Microsoft/config-wsl
CONFIG_AFS_FS=y
CONFIG_AFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_AFS_DEBUG_CURSOR=y
CONFIG_AFS_FSCACHE=y
CONFIG_AF_RXRPC=y
CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_IPV6=y
CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_INJECT_LOSS=n
CONFIG_RXKAD=y
