The package named 'linux-libre' is by definition the latest stable
kernel:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/linux.scm?id=22a34ea792ef0df15fd30d46f557b572c61d5404#n513
Should we add an alias for it?
We also have a package called 'linux-libre-lts', which is supposed to be
the most recent kernel with long-term support.
I think the phrasing "longterm" is more idiomatic for Linux, so we could
replace the -lts package with a -longterm package if people prefer that.
