gah - sorry my bad - of course not cross emulation user mode.

Yeah as follow on to the upper change

yw, I hope it is a win in test coverage for both of us eventually!

I dropped the former adding of isolation-machine and needs-root which was
related.
with qemu-system-x86_64 that should work now.

All that might also close the circle and address what I wanted to add with
the
FIXME (broken 2nd level KVM virt) as we no more need it.

I'm now having this delta for this case left:
(depending on qemu-system was already accepted IIRC)

I'll be throwing that against all architectures and get back to you if it
works for me.
(IIRC you already accepted the d/t/control dependency to qemu-system in my
former bug, so not listed)

I'm short of loosing overview, so for the next steps after this I'll rebase
to your latest commit on Monday first.
And then start over again.
