No, nothing I can see in the boot log:
https://storage.kernelci.org/next/master/next-20220323/arm/versatile_defconfig/gcc-10/lab-baylibre/baseline-qemu_arm-versatilepb.html
and I'd be surprised if virtio devices made it through with a specific
platform emulation. However it looks like for that test the init
scripts didn't do anything with the random seed (possibly due to running
from ramdisk?) so we'd not have hit the condition.
