Subject: [PATCH] Use cgroups v2 file system
Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2023 03:11:26 +0000

cgroup v2 is the next generation of the control groups API.
This patch replaces the cgroup v1 file system with the unified
cgroup v2 file system.

cgroup v2 allows for things like containerd/podman to run rootless containers and opens guix system up to running things like Kubernetes.
