I may be totally out of context here, but I'll just mention that we
apparently have some procedures for running builders in "containers"
rather than a qemu virtual machine. Perhaps you can avoid one of those
load-in-linux-vm calls by running something in a container instead.
Check out:
guix/gnu/build/linux-container.scm
guix/gnu/system/linux-container.scm
You might find something you can use.
