Without this, the kernel cannot write to the display until the
full-featured driver module (often i915) is loaded from the root file

frozen whilst waiting for user input.

Requested by PsixisP on #guix:
“I have a laptop that requires CONFIG_VMD (Intel's software RAID) in
order for the kernel to see the internal NVMe drive. This is not
present in the default Guix kernel.”
