[bug#27751] [PATCH 0/2] Simplify VM handling in system tests

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

The attached patches simplify VM handling in system tests by
defining a new <virtual-machine> type that can be used directly
in gexps, instead of using the monadic procedures from (gnu system
vm).

The second patch shows a lot of churn but that's mostly whitespace
changes due to things being rewritten from:

  (mlet* %store-monad ((os -> ...)
                       (command (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script ...)))
    ...)

to

  (define os
    ...)

  (define vm
    (virtual-machine ...))

  ...

The next step will be to handle VMs that do not use a shared store,
is the case for the tests in (gnu system install).

Let me know what you think!

Ludo'.

  vm: Add a <virtual-machine> type and associated gexp compiler.
  tests: Use 'virtual-machine' records instead of monadic procedures.
