## Observation
openQA test in scenario sle-16.0-BCI-Updates-ppc64le-bci-base_16.0_on_SLES_12-SP5@ppc64le fails in
[_root_BCI-tests_all_](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16125487/modules/_root_BCI-tests_all_/steps/1)
Given the fact that we are running SLFO code stream on old PowerPC workers, the BCI test containers are failing with segfaults when running binaries in the containers.

```
As in SLM testing, we need to use emulated PowerPC workers on SLEM16, workers, anything newer than POWER8.
## Expected result
Last good: None
## Acceptance criteria
1) SLFO tests are not running in old PowerPC archs, they are using Power9 workers, currently only available as emulated workers
```
QEMU=ppc64
QEMUCPU=POWER9
WORKER_CLASS=qemu_x86_64-large-mem
MACHINE=ppc64le-emu
```
2) Make sure that host images are adjusted for the emulated workers
