Subject: [PATCH] Revert kernel modules changes to support the Coreboot
 framebuffer
Date: Fri,  4 Feb 2022 18:52:20 -0500

These changes broke the creation of the 'linux-modules-database' for all kernel
series besides 5.15, 5.4, and 5.10, like this:

------
gnu/build/linux-modules.scm:257:5: kernel module not found "framebuffer_coreboot" "/gnu/store/yff45fr6q93mw44zdql9ffr95zcvwxcn-linux-libre-4.9.299/lib/modules"
------

We should support the coreboot framebuffer, but we need to test that change more
completely before deploying it.

This effectively reverts the following commits:
1dfe8c372163d481ebebb97dd3b4cafa49906b28 "gnu: linux-libre: Build simplefb into all x86{,_64} kernels."
bc09e7ab569d5306ce99c5525150695c9d539ef0 "gnu: linux-libre: Support the Coreboot framebuffer."

Subject: Re: [PATCH] Revert kernel modules changes to support the Coreboot
 framebuffer
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 19:05:04 -0500

Original patch submission and discussion:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51619

Reports of regressions that resulted:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52667
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53554
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53356#0-lineno7

To summarize, the 4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19, and 5.16 kernels cannot be used
on Guix without the user creating a custom initrd-modules in their
operating-system declaration.

default-initrd-modules should "just work" with all the kernel series
offered by Guix. 

Anyways, it's been a while since the regressions were introduced, and
still no solution. So I propose that we revert the changes that
introduced the regression, for now.

Sounds reasonable to me.
