On the new aarch64 machine which is GICv3 I get the following:

 (006/142) tests/acceptance/boot_linux.py:BootLinuxAarch64.test_virt_kvm_gicv2: ERROR: Unexpected empty reply from server (0.47 s)

which it shouldn't have run. However:

  ./tests/venv/bin/avocado --show=app run -t device:gic3 tests/acceptance/
  Test Suite could not be create. No test references provided nor any other arguments resolved into tests

Is this something that has regressed or am I doing it wrong?
