I'm finding it hard to think of a failure pattern that would
make it through VL discovery then fail at runtime but also not
obviously trigger any issues in syscall-abi...

The machine parameter accel={tcg,kvm} is useful for forcing a
specific backend - it's probably wise to force TCG if you might
be running on a job on a native architecture.

BTW there's some other funky stuff going on with that job, the
syscall-abi test is stopped with a timeout after 45 seconds (as
is sve-ptrace) which appears to be coming from a harness
somewhere.  The selection of FP tests run seems to miss fp-stress
too.
