The mips64el cross setup is very broken for bullseye which has now
entered LTS support so is unlikely to be fixed. While we still can't
build the container for bookworm due to a single missing dependency
that will hopefully get fixed in due course. For the sake of keeping
the CI green we mark it as allow_fail for the time being.

We could also do a temporary manual hack and remove the problematic packages 
from the list that cause the failure. I guess removing libdrm-dev:mips64el , 
libgtk-3-dev:mips64el and the SDL2 packages might help to avoid that the 
mesa stuff gets installed (which causes the trouble)...
Of course this will be overwritten the next time someone runs lcitool again, 
but with a little bit of luck, Debian already got fixed at that point in 
time. What do you think?

I was hoping the blockage would get cleared by now but I guess not. If
the distros no longer have enough eyeballs to care about mips64el and we
have it as Odd Fixes then I think the allow_fail approach allows us to
move forward without manual hacks.

If the CI runs and is green great, if not it doesn't hold anything up.
