lkp qemu is mainly for boot test now.  For performance test like
hackbench, you need to run lkp-tests inside the qemu.  Something like,

start the qemu, login into the Linux in qemu, then

# cd $lkp-tests
# make install
# lkp install jobs/hackbench.yaml
# lkp run xxx.yaml # one split job

Thanks for your suggestion.  We will do that.
