So on my Libreboot-enabled machine, KVM does not work.  In fact, even
starting qemu with KVM enabled on it appears to crash my whole system.
Not only does "guix system vm" not work, even "guix system vm-image" can
take the whole machine down!

It would be nice to have a --no-kvm switch, because I'd really like to
make use of Guix's nice VM features!

PS: Apparently in future revisions of Libreboot, this will be fixed.
  For now though...
