"customize-kernel" works by inheriting from a base package. It then
augments the arguments.
Inheriting from an inferior package does not work, though. Nor is there
a procedure to obtain the arguments of an inferior package. The na=C3=AFve
approach of simply defining inferior-package-arguments fails:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (inferior-package-arguments package)
"Return the arguments field of PACKAGE."
(inferior-package-field package 'package-arguments))
...
(inferior-package-arguments linux-libre-arm64-generic/fixed)
