as version 1 was quite immature,
and the results for testers were not that huge,
I am presenting a second version of the patch:

This patch allows to run ktest on a number of different CPUs,
even if not binary compatible with the host.
This requires that Qemu static is correctly installed,
and qemu is bug-free (qemu issue #1917 for ppc64).

Architectures supported:
- ARMV7 (hard float only) (Little Endian)
- AARCH64 (Little Endian)
- PowerPC64 (Big endian)
- RISCV (64 bit only) (Little Endian)
- S390X (Big Endian)
- SPARC64 (Big Endian)
- X86 (Little Endian)
- X86_64 (Little Endian)

This patch allows KVM emulation for X86* hosts,
others are using the TCG emulator.

A number of workarounds have been added for packages,
Debian often has incomplete dependencies in sid.

On supported architectures,
the root_image is based on Trixie.

In future versions, I'll have to look at the cross-compile issue:
currently, when building bcachefs tools,
it is needed to compile both C and Rust, every time another arch is launched.
it should not be that hard.
