Subject: [bug#77203] [PATCH 1/4] gnu: linux-libre: Enable CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION.
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2025 16:04:21 +0530

This enables support for filesystem-level encryption via the fscrypt
library. Many distributions such as Debian [1] and Arch Linux [2] have
it enabled (so it should be safe).

[1] https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/988ee7494a62a63a8b92b2e18bf730072e54413c/debian/config/config?page=6#L5843
[2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/blob/a7e2a17f9c0e55937ea3e18c4d5b905a8e4f8047/config?page=11#L10752

* gnu/packages/linux.scm (default-extra-linux-options): Add CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION.
