[PATCH] CI: Remove all use of /bin/false as a ROM
Posted by Andrew Cooper 1 year ago
As the recent work to get PCI Passthrough testing working shows, putting
`/bin/false` as a ROM into guest context doesn't work so well.

For all ROM paths where we're skipping the build, use a slightly-plausible but
likely non-existent path instead.
