If "job" did contain "error", then wouldn't we have hit
a SEGV in the qdict_get_str() call due to missing 'id'
field.

IOW, we should likely validate this is NOT an error
response first.

query-jobs returns [JobInfo], where "id" is mandary and "error" optional.

that's g_assert(qdict_haskey(response, "return"))

[PATCH 5/9] tests/ide-test: convert to QMP

The QMP command is explicit, specify both the vmstate and devices.
We use the helper introduced previously to wait for job completion.

[PATCH 6/9] tests/drive_del-test: compile out HMP-dependent tests when !CONFIG_HMP

[Marc-André Lureau]

The compiled-out functions are actually testing HMP-specific commands
and behaviour which operate on the old "drive" concept. The QMP
equivalent for block-driver nodes are already tested.

If HMP goes away, those tests should go away too. Compile them out.
