I've been trying to get riscv64 support added to qemu-binfmt-service,
but it doesn't appear to work....

I can successfully guix system reconfigure, with the following in my
config.scm:

  (services (cons* (service dhcp-client-service-type)
                   (service qemu-binfmt-service-type
                            (qemu-binfmt-configuration
                             (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms
                                         "arm"
                                         "aarch64"
                                         "riscv64"
                                         ))
                             ;; (guix-support? #t)
                             ))

But it doesn't appear to register the qemu-riscv64 interpreter, only
aarch64 and arm:

  $ ls /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/
  qemu-aarch64  qemu-arm  register  status


I've tried with:

  (qemu-platform "riscv64" "riscv"

and:

  (qemu-platform "riscv" "riscv64"

and:

  (qemu-platform "riscv64" "riscv64"

All with no luck.

Am I missing something obvious? There are definitions for many
architectures not yet available in guix, so I wouldn't think that's the
issue.
