migration-compat-aarch64 CI job is failing

[Thomas Huth]

  Hi,

I just ran the migration-compat-aarch64 CI job manually, but it is 
apparently (still?) failing:

  https://gitlab.com/thuth/qemu/-/jobs/10751473092

I'm not sure whether this job ever worked, is someone still looking into 
this? If this is not supposed to work and nobody is working on it, could we 
please remove it from the CI to avoid confusion?

  Thanks,
   Thomas

Hm.. I shouldn't fail _like that_. I'll take a look.

The issue was running the test across various setups, TCG, KVM, x86
host, aarch64 host. There was some combination that would break and we
decided to wait for development in target/arm that would provide a
stable cpu definition across TCG and KVM. Or so I remember... I couldn't
find the thread just now.

I'll figure it out.

Thank you for asking, we shouldn't leave it like that indefinitely.
