[aarch64] grub-efi cannot be built because of qemu changes

[aarch64] grub-efi cannot be built because of qemu changes

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

commit 71b8707100e2fbc00f123566717ba3958c6afabb seems to have broken
reconfiguration of my aarch64 machine.

That commit adds openbios-qemu-ppc to qemu, but the build of
openbios-qemu-ppc fails on aarch64:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

What can be done about this?

With openbios-qemu-ppc failing, qemu-minimal cannot be built, so
grub-efi cannot be built on aarch64.
