When running qemu-img from (gnu system vm) with an aarch64 kernel, mounting
ext4 partitions fails because no modprobe of ext4 module is made. Like for
other kernel configs, provide built-in support for ext4 partitions.

* gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/5.2-arm64.conf: Enable built-in ext4,
like in intel and armhf configs.

IIRC Mark was reluctant to this change; or was it more about the longer
term?

Yes, but we discussed it together and decided to proceed with this patch
and in a follow-up, configure ext4 support as a module in all kernel
configurations and add it to default initrd modules.

Ah OK, so let’s go with this patch.
