Could we merge it? I'm juggling a bunch of different things and prone to
lose track of something :\ I'll need to drum up a bit of interest to
review the QEMU fixes from those who know the code too, so that may take
some time.

I left it out of arm unittests.cfg entirely, and s390 and powerpc seems
to work by luck enough to be useful for gitlab CI so I don't think there
is a chnage needed really unless you're paranoid.

I do have a later patch that adds a memory tester that does trigger it
right away on powerpc. I'll send that out after this series is merged...
but we do still have the issue that the gitlab CI image has the old QEMU
don't we? Until we update distro.

Thanks,
Nick
