IMHO this is wrong. The functional tests are there to test the
real functional behaviour under an actual accelerator not qtest.

We have tests/qtests for testing scenarios where we want to only
exercise with the qtest accelerator.

If QEMU is built with /only/ HVF available and HVF can't be
used at runtime, then we should be skipping all functional
tests, not degrading them to be hardcoded to use qtest on
all platforms.
