Since the bare metal case reports a memory issue on the crashes, let us
give it a bit more memory - with 2G it works finally.

Instead of the other tests in launchpad/canonistack this uses KVM mode
via "-machine accel=kvm -enable-kvm -cpu host". Switching that instead
to "-machine accel=tcg" it fails the same.

But I found what consumed all the memory, the guest is (by default)
started with the same CPU set as the host which means -smp 156.
Disabling SMT in general on the host and starting the guest with 4 cpus
allows to reduce the memory to 1G (but 512M still fails). Some other
environment detail seems to bump the memory demand up.

As a cross check I can it on canonistack with 2G but it still fails with
the segfaults.

With the adapted config it worked in qemu 5.2 in KVM and TCG mode.
