Failure analysis:

spread nested-ubuntu-26.04

(1) This passes in the dev environment, this is understood to be related to the new 6.19 kernel:

openstack-ext:ubuntu-26.04-64:tests/nested/core/remount-hotplug

(2) These passes in the dev environment, it is related to the 6.19 kernel. The problem is
that we cannot successfully pass the recovery code over the serial connection. Workaround is in progress
where we proved using a different method works: #16589:
