[bug#29625] [PATCH core-updates] Vulkan patch series.

[Rutger Helling <rhelling@mykolab.com>]

Hey Marius,

Thanks a lot for improving and fixing the patches!

Regarding your questions; when I tried to build the Vulkan drivers on 
Mesa on i686 it failed to build.
I figured it was better to just leave it at x86_86 for now. In a future 
core-updates cycle it might be a good idea to start looking into other 
architectures.

Retroarch won't be affected if your hardware doesn't support Vulkan, it 
defaults to OpenGL anyway. It's just a setting you can modify 
(video_driver).

I also had an unrelated question. I saw that you updated Mesa to 17.2.7. 
I'm running 17.3.0 myself right now.
Is it customary in Guix to wait for the first point release, or do you 
want me to send in a patch?
It really only consists of updating the version, checksum and adding a 
native-input python2-mako.
