alexion 826e4a18dc Give neogaia the CachyOS kernel and hardware enablement (task 0003)
Select the CachyOS kernel per-Host via boot.kernelPackages, enable Intel
microcode and redistributable firmware (ath10k for the QCA6174 wifi), and
move zram behind a toggle Module. Declare the chaotic binary cache in the
base Nix settings (extra-substituters/keys) so the built system fetches the
kernel from nyx-cache rather than compiling it.
