Ok great. Good to know this isn't a new problem. Thanks for tracking it
down.

Can you please describe how you run the kunit test? And provide the qemu
command you run to boot arm64 with acpi?

It eventually runs this qemu command

qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -m 1024 -kernel .kunit/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz 
-append 'kunit.enable=1 console=ttyAMA0 kunit_shutdown=reboot' -no-reboot 
-nographic -serial stdio -machine virt -cpu max,pauth-impdef=on -bios 
/usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd

I see that it fails because the architected timer isn't there after I
add an earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 to the kernel commandline. I suspect
passing a bios like this is incorrect, but I rarely run qemu manually so
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

We should skip the tests on arm64+acpi, which is similar to disabling
but not exactly the same. There will likely be more DT overlay usage in
kunit and so that will lead to more test disabling. Skipping properly is
the better solution.
