These tests were failing and/or marked broken because:

  1. -vga virtio doesn't work on aarch64.
  2. Similarly, aarch64 requires EFI.

This should also fix nixosTests.initrd-secrets-changing and nixosTests.pulseaudio (#495326).

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to run cross-architecture tests locally so I'll leave this as a draft until I can confirm that it actually works.
