No, it only confirms that kvm-unit-tests/master fails on 5.2.*.  To confirm
a new failure in 5.2.3 you would need to show a test that passes on 5.2.2
and fails on 5.2.3.

As Paolo suspected, kvm-unit-tests/master fails on 5.2.* and passes if
commit 95d6d2c ("nVMX: Test Host Segment Registers and Descriptor Tables on
vmentry of nested guests") is reverted (from kvm-unit-tests).

The failures are quite clearly in the new test(s).
