Hm, but serial is lossy and experience shows that it leads to flaky tests if
the guest (or host) misses bytes. While SSH would just go slower.
I now noticed some issue with the serial console in this test, too.
Looks like the "Starting dropbear sshd: OK" is not print in an atomic way by
the guest, sometimes there are other kernel messages between the ":" and the
"OK". It works reliable when removing the "OK" from the string.
Nah, that still isn't atomic; you just got lucky because the race
window is smaller. It's not like serial ports are at a premium; can't
you have a separate port for kernel vs. userspace messages?
