This test was randomly failing on our CI, and on dev machines,
especially with QEMU debug builds.

From the information collected, it's related to an implementation choice
in edk2 QEMU virt support. The workaround is to disable KASLR, to avoid
accessing protected memory.
Note: this is *not* needed for the similar test_aarch64_rme_sbsaref.

More information is available on the associated GitLab issue.
