Nitpick: the original spec was written by AMD and also implemented by
VIA according to Wikipedia.  It's not tied to only Intel.  More neutral
would be x86-64-linux.  Also, this could be confused with the ia64
architecture (albeit not currently supported by Guix).

Also, we have two sets of platform modules: the ‘architecture’ modules,
and the ‘kernel’ module arm.scm.  Maybe that can be simplified now by
moving the Hurd platforms (currently only i586-pc-gnu) to intel.scm (or
maybe: x86.scm, or just platforms.scm, see other reply)?

Greetings,
Maxime.
