[Bug 1895053] Re: Cannot nspawn raspbian 10 [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.

I'm sorry, it works fine for me on Fedora 32 with qemu built from GIT
v5.1.0.

Title:
  Cannot nspawn raspbian 10 [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi, I'm using nspawn and asked the question @systemd-devel. They redirected 
me to you, guessing that nspawn calls a syscall or ioctl qemu isnt aware of and 
can't implement properly?
  They were like: "Sorry, that's not my department." ^^

  Maybe you can reproduce the issue or help me investigating whats wrong
  or put the ball right back into their court? :D

  Testscript:
  wget https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf_latest -o r.zip
  unzip r.zip
  LOOP=$(losetup --show -Pf *raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img)
  mount ${LOOP}p2 /mnt
  mount ${LOOP}p1 /mnt/boot
  systemd-nspawn --bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --boot --directory=/mnt --
