Oops, forgot to say, it is the /tmp/kvm-xfstests-$USER directory on
the host (it will be created when you first launch kvm-xfstests and it
is "live", i.e. like NFS, not like "pack to ext4 image then boot and
mount").

Mounted it on my host Ubuntu 18.10 amd64, executed `cat /mnt/xyz` and
it was "Killed". Maybe it is something freshly added or
arch-dependent...
