(I apologize if the root cause is obvious at this point -- I'm unclear
if the discussion is now about understanding the failure, or about ways
to mitigate it. I'm assuming the former.)
This test can occasionally fail because the test case has to wait until
the guest firmware proceeds far enough with executing the ACPI
linker/loader script. See RSDP_SLEEP_US and RSDP_TRIES_MAX in
acpi_find_vgia(). If the test case pokes at guest RAM "too early", using
monitor commands, then the guest fw will not have yet shaped guest RAM
as required.
(Again, apologies if this has been obvious all along.)
Thanks
