Right now we don't use any guest so that it doesn't really matter. If
we actually end up running a guest we should agree on an architecture,
and also boundle the require guest (which would have to be a really
minimal one) in the qemu-iotests repository. But for now I'd just avoid
requiring any guests.

Ok, fine with me. I'll respin the patch.
