To me, the main difference between the current test output and the new 
s390-specific seems to be lines about CD and floppy disk; due to patch 
1, they are gone from x86 as well, though. Therefore, we don't need 
special s390 output, but need to apply the changes directly to 071.out 
and 087.out.

Furthermore, after patch 1, tests 067 and 091 fail for me on x86, too. I 
don't know why 091 fails, but 067 fails because CD and floppy are 
missing from the block-query result and the DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED events are 
missing from QMP output in general (which is completely fine, we just 
need to adjust the reference output accordingly).
