Not sure this is an option.  Is nested virtualization supported in azure
pipeline VMs?  If so, is /dev/kvm passed into containers?

Well.  There is the pending patch series by Oliver to switch over CI to
use containers, and build using fedora container images.  Putting the
fix on fast track and backport the fix to the fedora packages should be
in the cards, which should get us a working qemu quickly.

That requires updating the fedora containers though.  I think they are
at Fedora 35 still, which is EOL meanwhile, so no more updates ...

Oliver?
CI team?

take care,
  Gerd
