perl_5.22.0-4 failed again on experimental i386 and 'all' buildds
because of this issue in QEMU. The #785557 log is a bit long as it
has all the history, the upstream ticket at
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350
is somewhat more concise. Basically CPU time accounting breaks after
live migration of QEMU guests. The perl test suite relies on this,
at least for times(2).

I'll do another porter upload with the missing binaries, but I really
think this needs a better fix. DSA: could somebody please look at
deploying the workaround above?
