Kind of academic given that Jason seems to have a handle on what the
issues are but for KernelCI it's variations on mach-virt, plus
versatile-pb.  There's a physical cubietruck as well, and BeagleBone
Blacks among others.  My best guess would be systems with low RAM are
somehow more prone to issues.
