Note that "what we can do about saucy" - I don't really care, except in as much as debugging it will help to fix it in trusty.

Right, except that Lvl2 can be anything. precise, quantal trusty, all fail, all in the same way, in lvl2.

So the point is that levels 1 and 2 don't matter, nor does the qemu userspace
on the host. Only the host kernel matters.
