Description of the change
Recent update to Delve added a new feature that depends on kernel functionality that either isn't available or isn't working on impish's arm64 linux kernel.
See https:/
notes:
- Delve is failing on a test introduced with a new feature in
version 1.6.1, but only on arm. Dan Bungert traced backwards
thru the failing case (using delve) quite a bit and eventually
found that it was attempting to dump the mappings listed in
smaps, and on which mapping it was failing. Delve does some
filtering to reduce which mappings get dumped - smaps does have
a "dd" flag that is intended to say "do not include area into
core dump", but vvar in this case does not have the flag, and it
is working OK on older kernels. Opened launchpad and upstream
issue with this information. Upstream is considering also
filtering on the "pf" flag, which is present in the vvar mapping
info on the failing kernels.
Feedback from upstream is that this appears to them to be a kernel bug, rather than a bug in this package.
Given that, I think we should force-reset-test for this arch.

Since delve is only blocking itself, I think we should take a wait and see approach.
