Hi, I just noticed you have discussed the autopkgtest failures on loong64
here. At first the failure was because the UEFI firmware was not used and
the Linux kernel relies on the ACPI table provided by the UEFI firmware
to work correctly. Later the failure is because the race condition in qemu.
I just sent patches to qemu to fix this [1].

Cheers,

Miao Wang
