From that it follows that I don’t see much use in testing specific devices
either. Say there’s
a platform that provides both virtio-pci and virtio-mmio, the default (say
virtio-pci) is fine
for the iotests. I see little value in testing virtio-mmio as well. (Perhaps
I’m short-sighted,
though.)
That's a fair point. But still, if someone compiled QEMU only with a target
that only provided
virtio-mmio, the iotests should not fail when running "make check".
To avoid that we continue playing whack-a-mole here in the future, maybe it
would be better to
restrict the iotests to the "main" targets only, e.g. modify check-block.sh so
that the tests only
run with x86, aarch64, s390x and ppc64 ?
