I think only these two other bullets are pure kernel tests:

In particular, migration and monitoring for panics are very useful for
QEMU, since QEMU bugs can crash the kernel. Of course this is moot if
you have proper unit tests at the qtest level, but there's quite some
work to do before you can dismiss all the work in autotest. And when
you have those, you can also dismiss some of the work in qemu-test.
