Yes, it's really nice to have access to those, and in the future, if
we want to really support the ppc64le with substitutes, we may
ask for a CI-class VM which should have better performance.

I've also asked for details of the openstack setup, and the virtual
disks provided to the VMs are networked ceph storage which is
quite slow, they are investigating the problem. I also asked if they
can try to provide hypervisor-local scratch storage (way faster but
not durable, and would make the VM non migratable) to the VMs and
they may be able to do so in the future.
