[PATCH kvm-unit-tests v3 0/9] Extend and apply the errata framework

[Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com>]

We've had an errata framework merged in for a while, but it hasn't been
getting used (at least not upstream). This series extends it to allow
run script environment provided and host kernel version based generated
errata variables to be automatically provided to unit tests. It then
changes a couple arm unit tests to use the errata framework, now that
it's more useful.

The benefit of this over always using the 'nodefault' group is that
once a host has been patched the unit test will automatically start
running as a regression test - no need to manually run it, meaning no
concern that it will likely never actually be run...

v3:
 - clear INITRD to be sure it's not used unless derived from ENV [Laurent]
 - add some Laurent r-b's

v2:
 - apply a couple good bash suggestions from Laurent
 - apply some debatable bashisms for string manipulation, which
   swaps readability for reduced pipes... [me]

Andrew Jones (9):
  arch-run: introduce initrd_create
  arch-run: provide errata from run env
  x86/run: source config.mak
  arch-run: generate errata when no environ is provided
  mkstandalone: provide errata to tests
  errata: add ERRATA_FORCE
  README: add section on guarding unsafe tests
  AArch32: apply errata framework to unsafe pmccntr64 test
  arm/arm64: apply errata framework to unsafe cpu-on test
