If you want to implement that, feel free to. :) We neither have working
QMP parsing nor a QMP method for obtaining machines that I'm aware of.

My opinion is that if I merge a complete but fixed list today and
afterwards someone adds a new machine and forgets to cover it with
custom or this generic qtest, then it's their fault if I unknowingly
break their machine.
