Yes, I actually encountered the issue back to the first time customizing a
kernel with Guix System!

Recently I tried to write a script to enable all possible modules for
(gnu system linux-initrd) and realized "CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB" (required for CIFS
support) in defconfig for part of our kernels are set to built-in.  As a result,
I think it's now necessary to make a change within Guix instead. :)

Applied as 8f8ec56052766aa5105d672b77ad9eaca5c1ab3c.

Thanks
