Yeah, that would be nice to know.

I tried on my own, and it does seem still required (at least with
those packages mentioned in the example). But perhaps a Nix user knows
of a better way to do it, anyway.

So I kept it.

By the way, I think it would be nice to have a "standard",
well-maintained `shell.nix` (or a flake or whatever is best nowadays)
in the kernel tree somewhere, i.e. one that is known to work, that
covers most tooling used in the kernel, etc.

Cheers,
