In the older version of kvm_runtest (kvm_runtest_old), the iteration 
parameter can be added to the corresponding job.runtest() of each test 
type (boot, reboot, migration).Different Class and execute function are 
defined for each test type in old runtest infrastructure which gives the 
flexibility of providing independent iteration values. But in the 
current infrastructure, I am not sure how we can apply that way to 
iterate each test type. My guess is, defining an iteration parameter 
under corresponding test type variant in the  kvm_test.cfg file  is one 
of the ways.  Pls let me know if I overlooked anything here.
