I understand it may get skipped in gitlab CI for kvm-unit-tests,
but it might be helpful to those who can run it on their Power HW.
If the job can safely skip on non-ppc HW, I hope it's fine?
We would like to get it integrated in IBM's internal CI with Power HW.

Chinmay,
Could you please share logs of running these tests with kvm accel on 
Power HW? Thanks!
