Did you use the very latest git version of QEMU? ... these two
hypercalls have just been added recently, so the tests fail if your QEMU
does not support them yet.

I initially had something like that in my code, but the output like

 PASS: hypercall: h_random: not supported

then also looks somewhat strange ...

Is there already a common sense how to (not) report missing and thus
untestable features in kvm-unit-tests? Something like

 SKIP: hypercall: h_random: not supported

would be posh, I think...
