This adds the capability to apply "errata" patches to the linux-libre deblobbing scripts, which is necessary for linux-libre 6.10:

I tested the build of linux-libre 6.10 with the attached patches, and it
failed as dariqq said it would on #guix, because this kernel series
requires an update to the 'dwarves' package. I'm building again with the
dwarves update now.

Also, these errata patches will only be required for 6.10, and not
subsequent releases in this series (6.10.1, etc).

We don't often end up including the mainline release in Guix, but rather
the subsequent stable releases, so in this case, it's not really
necessary to add this functionality. Although it would be nice.
