I think OpenBSD was the final thing that is not working. I've checked
freebsd and macOS and they were working fine for me there. The netbsd
image does not have "bash", so the tests are skipped there.

It's not the iotests that are slow here, it's the whole openbsd image -
even compiling is way slower than natively... it feels like it is
ignoring the multiple cores and only running single-threaded.
