[Bug 1992178] [NEW] autopkgtest: upstream tests that run in qemu hang on ppc64el

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I believe this started early in the kinetic cycle, cf.
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/systemd/kinetic/ppc64el vs
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/systemd/jammy/ppc64el. Timeouts
in the upstream tests have been an issue for a while, but kinetic on
ppc64el consistently times out with upstream tests that run in QEMU.

Skipping individual tests does not help, because *which* tests time out
appears to change with each build. For example, in 251.4-1ubuntu4 the
TEST-36-NUMAPOLICY test was consistently the culprit, but now in
251.4-1ubuntu6 the TEST-14-MACHINE-ID often times out.

I have not been able to identify a root cause for this, but it seems
that running tests in QEMU is very fragile on ppc64el, where as the
tests that run in nspawn are more consistent.
