The MB2+EFI tests on Adler Lake fail with this series:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/marmarek/xen/-/pipelines/1478766782
Looking at the VGA output (unfortunately not collected by the test
itself) it hangs just after bootloader, before printing anything on the
screen (or even clearing it after bootloader). The serial is silent too.

It does pass on Zen 3+ runners.

Since there were some issues with the ADL runner today on plain staging,
I'm not 100% sure if it isn't some infrastructure issue yet. But the
symptoms look different than usual infra issues (and different than
todays failures on staging), so I think it's more likely an issue with
the patches here.
