Guix System on x86_64 hangs after boot when reconfigured to use
linux-libre 5.15.17.

The system becomes unresponsive to keyboard input after boot. Sometimes
it reaches the login prompt, sometimes not. Services that take a while
to start, typically finishing after the prompt is displayed, do not
ever start.

I bisected and confirmed that the problem is introduced in Guix Git
commit aad96ed54070 "gnu: linux-libre: Update to 5.15.17."

I could not reproduce the problem with `guix system vm [...]`. Maybe
this means that the problem only occurs after reconfiguring, rather than
a fresh system, or maybe it just doesn't occur at all in a KVM VM.

I'll try with 5.15.18 and the 5.10 series. We are still unable to deploy
linux-libre 5.16 for Guix System users due to this bug:
