Hi Phil,

I'll send with my python-next (and other) patches to be queued in a day
or two... but the bad news is: I don't think Avocado 87.0 has the fix for
the pipeline issue above.  I looked at the test log, and the kernel boot
hangs right after:

11:43:53 DEBUG| Freeing unused kernel memory: 1176K
11:43:53 DEBUG| This architecture does not have kernel memory protection.

And then gets interrupted by Avocado some 90 seconds after that.  I'll try
to reproduce it and debug.

Avocado 87.0 does fix the issue you referenced here though.
