Pull request overview
Marks the Linux-direct x64 PCIe integration tests as unstable so failures no longer block PRs, while keeping the same test coverage for UEFI-based guests.
Changes:
- Switched all
#[openvmm_test(linux_direct_x64, ...)]usages in the PCIe test module tounstable_linux_direct_x64. - Added a file-level comment explaining why Linux-direct PCIe tests are currently unstable and that this should be reverted after the kernel update.

The test failures we're seeing are kernel panics, but they seem to come only from these tests. I think once we update the test kernel we'll reenable these and reevaluate. I've had copilot run on a bunch of logs of these failures and it keeps blaming the kernel, and 6.1 is reallllly old. |

Our PCIe tests have been failing with Linux direct, so mark them as unstable for now. This issue will hopefully be fixed once the new test kernel is onboarded: #3530
