Thank you Efraim, this is awesome!

Oh, I think I had missed the #:defconfig option when I tried.

Which documentation in particular?

Copy what into .config?

Why fixing the formatting?  How?  With a second `make localmodconfig'?

What does CONFIG_MODULES=y change?  (Not on my computer now, can't check
in my local linux checkout.)

This walkthrough is invaluable in my opinion.  So far I was under the
impression that many members of the Guix community were annoyed by
kernel compilation time and had tried to customize it, but it's really
hard.  This process would make for an excellent blog article in my
opinion! :D
