While my patch before addresses AMD-specific tweaks in the manual
under Hardware Considerations, it is not enough if on the *download
page* Guix is claimed to run on “an i686, x86_64, ARMv7, or AArch64
machine“ without saying linux-libre *on some hardware, is not
supported* and referencing the Hardware Considerations section and
h-node, I think.
