Very well possible :).

I sorry, but I forgot the discussion. You might be right.

We have only one host that can run KVM: our single amd64 host. The way 
this works on ci.d.n is that we marked cryptsetup to prefer qemu, which 
means that *if* an architecture in our setup supports qemu even on one 
host out of many, the test *will* run on that architecture in qemu. But 
architectures without qemu support on ci.d.n will run the tests in lxc 
(currently, we're trying to switch to podman).

Well, if those are currently only run on amd64 and i386, it might be 
worth indeed to stop marking them flaky and only run on amd64 (or mark 
them skippable and only "exit 77" on i386 on failure, such that failure 
on amd64 is still fatal). However, at this moment they even fail on our 
KVM capable machine, in qemu backend [1], as well as before the switch 
in the lxc backend [2].
