+Alright, I'm trying to figure out why the kernel is panicking when running these tests on a s390x host. Let's look at the information provided.
+
+First, the user provided a traceback from the kernel panic. The key lines are:
+
+```
+[   18.765427] RIP: nvme_pci_complete_rq+0x78/0x108 [nvme]
+...
+Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
+Rebooting in 30 seconds..
+```
+
+So, the issue is happening in the `nvme_pci_complete_rq` function of the NVMe driver. The RIP (Instruction Pointer) points to this function's offset.
+
+The user also mentioned that they're running avocado tests on a s390x host but used PowerPC instructions for QEMU. Wait, that might be a clue. They ran QEMU with `-M powernv8`, which is a PowerPC machine type, but the error message mentions `nvme` and the stack trace includes `nvme_pci_complete_rq`. This suggests they're trying to use an NVMe device in their QEMU setup.
+
+Looking at the steps to reproduce, they downloaded a zImage (which is for s390x), but used `-M powernv8`, which is PowerPC. Maybe there's a mismatch here. Or perhaps the issue is with how the NVMe device is being emulated or configured in QEMU for the PowerPC machine.
+
+I should check if `nvme` device support is correctly implemented in QEMU for the s390x architecture when using a PowerPC machine type. Alternatively, maybe the zImage they're using isn't compatible with the hardware setup provided by the QEMU options.
+
+Another possibility is that the `nvme_pci_complete_rq` function has a bug under certain conditions, such as specific configurations or interactions during I/O operations. Maybe the way the NVMe device is being accessed in this environment triggers an error that's not properly handled.
+
+I should also consider if there are any known issues with QEMU's PowerPC machine type and NVMe devices. Perhaps the user needs to use a different machine type or specific QEMU options when using s390x guests, but they're running it on a different host architecture.
+
+Wait, actually, s390x is for IBM mainframes, while `powernv8` is PowerPC. Maybe there's confusion here about the target architecture versus the host. If they're testing on an s390x host, perhaps using QEMU to run PowerPC guests isn't correct, and that's causing compatibility issues with the NVMe device.
+
+Alternatively, maybe the `nvme` driver in the guest is not compatible with how it's being emulated under these specific conditions. The stack trace shows that after handling an interrupt, the kernel panics, so perhaps there's a bug in how interrupts are handled by the NVMe driver in this setup.
+
+I should look into the QEMU configuration they used:
+
+- `-M powernv8`: Uses the PowerNV8 machine type.
+- `nvme` device added on PCIE bus 2.
+
+Is the `nvme` device correctly supported in QEMU for this machine type? Maybe there's a missing or incorrect emulation of the NVMe controller, leading to the kernel function failing.
+
+Another angle: The user is running tests under avocado, which might be causing specific I/O operations that stress the NVMe driver more than normal usage. Perhaps certain test cases are triggering an unhandled error condition in `nvme_pci_complete_rq`.
+
+I should check if this particular offset (0x78) in `nvme_pci_complete_rq` is known to cause issues. Maybe a search for similar errors would help.
+
+Looking up the function name, `nvme_pci_complete_rq`, it's part of the NVMe driver in the kernel. The function likely handles completing requests on the PCI bus. If this function is causing a panic, perhaps there's an issue with how the request queue is being processed or with the interrupt handling.
+
+In the stack trace, we see that after `nvme_pci_complete_rq`, it goes through various softirq and irq functions before panicking. This suggests that while processing an interrupt from the NVMe device, something went wrong in this function.
+
+So possible causes:
+
+1. **QEMU Emulation Issue**: The way the NVMe device is emulated in QEMU for the PowerPC machine type might be incorrect or incomplete, leading to unexpected behavior when the kernel accesses it.
+
+2. **Kernel Driver Bug**: There's a bug in the `nvme_pci_complete_rq` function that's triggered under specific conditions (like certain I/O patterns) when running on s390x hosts via QEMU.
+
+3. **Incompatible Configuration**: The combination of machine type, devices, and kernel used might not be supported, causing the driver to fail.
+
+To debug this:
+
+- Check if others have encountered similar issues with `nvme_pci_complete_rq` in kernel panics.
+- Verify that the QEMU setup for PowerPC with NVMe is correct and supported.
+- Look into any recent changes or patches related to the NVMe driver in the kernel version used by the user.
+
+Perhaps the user should try running a different machine type or adjust the QEMU configuration for better compatibility. Alternatively, they might need to update their QEMU or kernel if there's an available fix for this issue.
+</think>
+
+The kernel panic is caused by an error in the `nvme_pci_complete_rq` function during NVMe device handling in QEMU. The likely causes are either a bug in the driver when running on s390x hosts via QEMU or incorrect emulation of the NVMe device in the PowerPC machine setup.
+
+**Step-by-Step Explanation:**
+
+1. **Identify the Error Location**: The kernel panic occurs in `nvme_pci_complete_rq`, indicating an issue with completing requests for the NVMe device.
+
+2. **Check QEMU Configuration**: The user is using a PowerPC machine type (`powernv8`) and an s390x guest, which may cause compatibility issues with the NVMe device emulation.
+
+3. **Investigate Known Issues**: Look for similar errors in kernel logs or QEMU bug reports related to `nvme_pci_complete_rq` under specific conditions.
+
+4. **Test Compatibility**: Verify if running PowerPC guests on an s390x host with an NVMe device is supported and properly configured in QEMU.
+
+5. **Update Software**: Ensure that QEMU, the kernel, and associated drivers are up-to-date with any relevant patches for this issue.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+To resolve the kernel panic, consider the following steps:
+
+1. **Check Compatibility**: Ensure that the combination of PowerPC machine type and s390x guest is supported when using NVMe devices in QEMU.
+
+2. **Adjust QEMU Configuration**: Modify the QEMU setup if necessary, perhaps by selecting a different machine type or adding specific device options for better compatibility.
+
+3. **Update Software Components**: Apply any available updates to QEMU, the kernel, and related drivers to fix potential bugs in the NVMe driver or emulation.
+
+4. **Log Additional Information**: Gather more detailed logs from the kernel and QEMU to pinpoint exactly where the failure occurs, aiding in further debugging efforts.
