I don't think it needs doing as part of this series, but I do think it
would be worth adding the standard suite of tests steps to L2 guests
soon after.

The way osstest deals with test failures i.e. classifying them into "has
always failed" vs. "regression" means that it is fine to add tests for
features which aren't mature yet, since they will fall into the "has
always failed" set and not block pushes. In fact it is in some sense
good to do this since it gives a concrete set of (necessary but not
necessarily sufficient) things which need to be fixed for the feature to
reach maturity.
