And you're reasonably certain that's the only issue? I ask because it is the
nature of randconfig to pick random combinations of settings; on a later
pipeline I had seen a different failure. I didn't look at that in detail (it
may have had to do with the domctl lock or something vaguely similar),
which perhaps was a mistake.
