This reverts commit 6d1da867e65f ("tests/migration: Reduce autoconverge initial bandwidth")
since that change makes unit tests much slower for all developers, while it's not
a robust way to fix migration tests. Migration tests need to find
a more robust way to discover a reasonable bandwidth without slowing
things down for everyone.

Please also mention we can do this since 1de8e4c4dcf which allow
marked the s390x job as "unstable" and allow it to fail.

But if nobody is going to look at it, instead lets disable
it until someone figure out the issue:

Sorry, but that looks wrong. First, the disable-tcg test does not run
the qtests at all. So this is certainly the wrong location here. Second,
if just one of the qtests is failing, please only disable that single
failing qtest and not the whole test pipeline.

 Thanks,

Was he? Citing his reply to the mail from your URL:

 "Before we take the hammer to it, could you try reducing it's initial
bandwidth"

So all I can see is that he first wanted to try something different than
disabling the test. And now,  instead of using a small hammer to disable
just this test, you now even use a very *big* hammer to disable *all*
tests. That's just a very bad idea. Please don't.

You are right. I was being concerned about having CI working because
the more red it stay, the less likely the community will worry about
it, and I didn't want we loose interest in testing (or discredit its
importance). I now understand without having CI gating, it is
pointless to try to keep it green (at the cost of having all local
testing running slower, it is worst if maintainers stop their local
testing).

WRT this test I have no idea what it is doing, furthermore why it
fails on s390x containers, so I sent a simple patch to fix the CI,
but failed to foreseen its negative effect on the rest of the
developers.

Thanks Michael for fixing my mess with your patch:

Ok, but none of these hangs seem to be related to the migration test. I 
assume that's just a generic unreliability of the builder machines, 
which should have been addresses with Alex' patch 1de8e4c4dcf2af8e1 ?

OK we can do this as an extra patch. Can you supply a S.O.B. pls?

Yeh, I'd hoped something else could provide another way but I hadn't
realised how this worked;  You don't hit auto-converge until you've done
two passes, since we're running ~100MByte of dirty memory, that means
it wont hit the autoconverge stage until
2x100MByte/1MByte bandwidth=200 seconds

I'm actually measuring 130 seconds, which seems sane to me, since
there's a lot of overlap; so yeh we need to find a different way to set
this up.

What's the conclusion here? Should I merge this?

Fine for me (from the s390x side). The test should not run with TCG in 
the CI for s390x ... if it still does, we have to have another closer 
look at the check there instead.
