Subject: [bug#53791] [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.
