qemu_kvm is only built for one architecture, so it's smaller and takes
MUCH less time to build if it has to be built from source. And this
module doesn't support running a VM for one architecture from another
architecture, so the one architecture is all we'll need.
Some upstream changes broke the automatic fallback to SwiftShader.
Without this workaround the GPU initialization fails (apparently due to requiring Vulkan):

This workaround restores the previous result:

The workaround is only required for Chromium, not Google Chrome.
With this change it's ensured that `builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos` actually
points to `<nixpkgs/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/linux-x.y.nix>` when
retrieving the position of `src` or `version` of
`linuxPackages.kernel`.
This is relevant to make sure that ofborg pinging maintainers on kernel updates
actually works[1]. While the underlying issue should be fixed in ofborg
or Nix itself, this is IMHO a pragmatic change to ensure that all kernel
maintainers are automatically notified on updates.

This reverts commit e2bea4427b.
While this commit was probably fine, I want to be conservative
with changes right before the release branch-off.
So far the extendModules commits have been adding and refactoring
expressions that did not affect derivation hashes, whereas this
commit changes the module ordering. I will open a separate PR for
it.
