Maybe I was not clear. After these tests conversion, I don't see any
more use of avocado, so we can remove its dependency on QEMU, right?
Basically, in a final patch I'd remove anything related to:

   python/setup.cfg:37:    avocado-framework >= 90.0
   python/tests/minreqs.txt:35:avocado-framework==90.0
