Subject: [PATCH 1/3] reconfigure: Do not pass KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG.
Date: Mon,  6 Jan 2025 13:58:35 +0100

This flag is unsupported in Linux 6.6 and causes ‘kexec_file_load’ to
fail with EINVAL.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75211>.

* guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (kexec-loading-program): Remove
KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG.
* guix/build/syscalls.scm (KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG): Add comment.
