I think we should say ‘Linux-Libre’ here (yes, even though it loads on any *Linux) but I'm never entirely sure.

It ought to be used by adding it to the @code{kernel-loadable-modules}
+field and loaded in memeory by @command{modprobe} or
+@code{kernel-module-loader-service-type}.")))

This can go; it belongs in the manual and is already explained there.

LGTM with these changes, but curious what others think about ‘Linux’,
