These patches make it possible to use gnome-boxes, at least for the
simple virtual machine I tried to run.
Previously, I was stuck with the following error:
Unable to start domain: unsupported configuration: this QEMU binary
lacks smartcard passthrough mode support
Christopher Baines (4):
gnu: Add softhsm.
gnu: Add libcacard.
gnu: qemu: Add libcacard as an input to enable smartcard support.
gnu: spice: Add libcacard as an input to enable smartcard support.

Yep, I've got a bug open for that change [1].

Sure, I've changed the phase name.
