I've just had an x86_64 guest test run for 70 minutes.  We need to limit the
amount of time spent here in some way, with excessive time reported as test
failure.

One potential way would be to add "ulimit -t $TIMEOUT" to the subshell before
running qemu.  A default TIMEOUT might be e.g. 15 seconds.  I'm not sure what
we should expect for the largest test on the smallest hosts...
