Oh. To the question of whether there was a systemd change in this window: yes absolutely, because this is the point at which the riscv64 builders moved from lgw manually-operated qemu with a 20.04 guest image, to bos03 openstack-operated qemu with a 22.04 guest image.

Which is also why we've moved from 5.13.0-1019-generic to 5.19.0-1021-generic.

But again, it was my understanding that these devices are supposed to be created synchronously WITHOUT the involvement of udev. In fact, we had to make launchpad-buildd changes to make use of these devices at all because udev would NOT set them up for us.

So if these are now being set up via udev, that's a significant departure from expectations and it's not clear we even CAN have synchronous behavior given that they would be set up by the host udev and not the udev in the lxd container!
