Pushed as 0aa43117907581779cf3f343c6175d98369b7e07.

Closing, even though I didn’t manage to boot it on QEMU.

Ideally Guix System would run as seemlessly as the Ubuntu ARM cdimages
work on Macs, but I can’t test and it is a different issue.

Regards,
Florian

Reproducer:
guix system image -t iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm
This command fails on aarch64 host. It doesn’t if I manually remove uvesafb-service-type from the list. It is impossible(and not needed) to run uvesafb on non-x86 machines at the moment, so I think it should be included only in x86_64 (and probably 32bit x86 as well) builds.
