I've tried this on bayfront.guix.gnu.org which has 32 cores and I'm very
glad to say it seems to work!

Maybe tweak the capitalisation in the commit message, "New patch", "Add
it ...", "Use it", but yeah, I'm all for merging this, with it I'll be
able to reconfigure bayfront hopefully. Are you set to tweak the commit
message and push?

Thanks,
