Kernel module not found at boot time due to hyphen/underscore mismatch

Hi,

When I install Guix on a low end computer using the `guix system init`

command, the installer says that "mmc_block" and "sdhci_acpi" should be

added into initrd-modules:

#+begin_example

error: you may need these modules in the initrd for /dev/mmcblk0p2: mmc_block sdhci_acpi

hint: Try adding them to the `initrd-modules' field of your `operating-system' declaration, along these lines:

(operating-system

;; ...

(initrd-modules (append (list "mmc_block" "sdhci_acpi")

%base-initrd-modules)))

#+end_example

This computer has an eMMC disk, so this sounds reasonable. I made that

modification and the installation process succeeded. But when I boot

the computer, it complained that "sdhci_acpi" could not be found. After

spending hours digging around, I finally found out that the required

module name is actuall called "sdhci-acpi" rather than "sdhci_acpi".

The computer can successfully boot into Guix when I replace "sdhci_acpi"

with "sdhci-acpi" and reinstall Guix.

So the problem is that the Guix installer recommends wrong initrd module

names to user.
