By default, the timeout to receive any specified event from the QEMU VM is 60
seconds set by the python avocado test framework. Please see event_wait() and
events_wait() in python/qemu/machine/machine.py. If the matching event is not
triggered within that interval, an asyncio.TimeoutError is generated. Since the
timeout for the bits avocado test is 200 secs, we need to make event_wait()
timeout of the same value as well so that an early timeout is not triggered by
the avocado framework.

Thanks; I've applied this directly. Hopefully it will deal with
this intermittent for good.
