I take that back. It does survive for much longer, but after some 15
minutes of running I again run into tons of

Title:
  arm64 kernel and multiple CPUs is unusably slow

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I created an 8 CPU arm64 instance on Canonical's Scalingstack (which I
  want to use for armhf autopkgtesting in LXD). I started with wily as
  that has lxd available (it's not yet available in trusty nor the PPA
  for arm64).

  However, pretty much any LXD task that I do (I haven't tried much
  else) on this machine takes unbearably long. A simple "lxc profile set
  default raw.lxc lxc.seccomp=" or "lxc list" takes several minutes.

  I see tons of
