Another issue: I changed the GRUB upgrade to use a more recent commit,
which includes the two MIPS patches that are used in wip-loongson2f.

However, GRUB fails one test on x86_64:

The video test failure is a showstopper I think, and it would require
quite a bit of work to investigate.

Do you think you could help with these two things?  Otherwise we can
just postpone GuixSD/mips64el to the next release.

TIA,
