Currently the 'solution' I've found is to edit Guix to remove the two instances
of '--enable-kvm' which works somewhat, though it's slower as there's absolutely
no acceleration.

We should probably also blacklist kvm on Libreboot machines too somehow, though
this could also break it on non-Libreboot machines. I wonder if there's a way to
query the BIOS to see if Libreboot is enabled?
