On VM-based builders, the nvmem unittest was sometimes missing the 10-second deadline, likely being stuck in slow I/Os. Try to move the persistent storage files used for flash 'emulation' on host from the build directory to a RAM-backed filesystem in /dev/shm in order to mitigate this bottleneck. Store the new backing files in a path like: /dev/shm/EC_persist__mnt_host_source_src_platform_ec_build_host_nvmem_nvmem.exe_flash in order to keep the properties of the old system: subsequent runs of the same build will use the same persistent storage but 2 different trees won't mix up.
