An important thing that should be noted first is that the OML link and the RSL 
link(s) are separate TCP/IP connections. The OML link is established first, 
then the BSC configures all transceivers and timeslots, and after that the BSC 
indicates remote IP/port for the RSL link(s). All System Information messages 
are sent over the RSL link of C0.

A BTS is considered "connected" when all its OML Managed Objects are 
"UNLOCKED", and all its transceivers have established the RSL connections. See 
all_trx_rsl_connected_unlocked().

I guess it works fine for you because we have TCP_NODELAY in the recent 
libosmo-abis. There is still a chance that not all System Information messages 
would arrive when f_wait_oml() returns and as_catch_RSL_sysinfo() gets 
deactivated. This would result in sporadic test case failures.

The simplest, not elegant solution would be to call f_sleep(1.0) before 
deactivating as_catch_RSL_sysinfo(). The proper (IMO) solution would be to have 
a list of expected (not empty) System Information messages somewhere in the 
module parameters (in accordance with osmo-bsc.cfg), so you know what you're 
waiting for in the 'alt' statement, 'repeat' unless all expected kinds of SI 
are received, and fail if a timer expires.

I am now also wondering whether we really need to expect/collect/check the SI 
messages here and thus in every test case, or exclusively in those ones that 
actually aimed to verify the SI.
