Is anyone seeing OpenSBI v1.0 flakiness?

I recently bumped QEMU to v7.0.0 in my main test repos, which is causing
some flakiness: around 1% of kernels are failing to boot, it seems to
not really depend on the Kconfig or QEMU config (though I'm always
running virt tests). It's just an early boot hang, I haven't poked
around much deeper as I've just been trying to bisect the problem. I
think I've tracked this down to the OpenSBI update (from 0.9 to 1.0),
but it seems like the boot failures come and go so I'm not 100% sure on
that -- at least the commit before the OpenSBI update seems safe, I ran
about ten thousand boots without any issues. That's about as far as
I've getten bisecting, the low failure rate is causing headaches.
I'm back on v6.1.0 so I can try and get some Linux code merged this
week, I'm way behind so I probably won't be able to look all that much.
I'm going to try and get OpenSBI master into my testing flow more
cleanly, but I figured I'd start a thread in case anyone else is seeing
issues.
