We got this error only once during ptests, but this might be just another qemu issue, without any direct link with ptests. This is a bit similar to https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15463, but now this is on ARM platform.

We have changed the kernel and qemu version so re-open if it happens again.
