[PATCH 4/9] tests/avocado: Enable replay_linux.py on ppc64 pseries

[Nicholas Piggin]

Add a ppc64 pseries test. This tends to hang in the replay phase near
the end of the trace due to a missing event, so it is marked flaky.

spapr-vscsi IO is extremely slow when running in record-replay modes,
particularly when driven by SLOF. This causes tests to time-out even
after an hour, so this uses guestfish to extract the kernel and initrd
and boot them directly.
