[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

But I can't reproduce it outside the avocado toolchain, by running qemu
directly.

Title:
  ReplayKernel.test_x86_64_pc fails intermittently

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Even though this acceptance test is already skipped on GitLab CI, the
  intermittent failures can be seen on other environments too.

  The record phase works fine, but during the replay phase fail to
  finish booting the kernel (until the expected place):

  On my workstation, I can replicate the failure roughly once every 50
  runs.
