Just as a datapoint for debugging at least qemu/arm is getting coverage
in CI systems (KernelCI is covering a bunch of different emulated
machines and LKFT has at least one configuration as well, clang's tests
have some wider architecture coverage as well I think) and they don't
seem to be seeing any problems - there's some other variable in there.

For example current basic boot tests for KernelCI are at:

   https://linux.kernelci.org/test/job/mainline/branch/master/kernel/v5.17-=
1442-gb47d5a4f6b8d/plan/baseline/

for mainline and -next has:

   https://linux.kernelci.org/test/job/next/branch/master/kernel/next-20220=
322/plan/baseline/

These are with a buildroot based rootfs that has a "Saving random seed: "=
=20
step in the boot process FWIW.
