[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Acceptance tests: boot Linux with KVM test

[Wainer dos Santos Moschetta <wainersm@redhat.com>]

Hi all!

This series introduce a simple test case which boots Linux with
KVM enabled aiming to exercise qemu-kvm integration. No other
acceptance test does that as far as I know.

The patch 02 allows the test writter to mark (by means of Avocado tag)
the test require a given accelerator that if not present will end up
on skipping its run. It uses `qemu -accel help` to determine if accel
is enabled in binary and in some cases (e.g. kvm) it can check the host
support too. Because `qemu -accel help` needs to execute without the
qmp machinery, the patch 01 is needed. The patch 01 allows to boot qemu
with no qmp which can also be used on LinuxInitrd test for instance.

Depends on '[PATCH 1/2] Acceptance tests: exclude "flaky" tests'
which bumps Avocado version to 69.1.

Conflicts with '[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] python/qemu: split QEMUMachine out
from underneath __init__.py'. Upon merge of John's patch I can then
rebase this.
