I just gave it a try, and basically I like this ... but I also encountered 
two issues:

I tried this, and while hitting CTRL-C multiple times brought me back to the 
shell prompt, the remaining tests kept getting started in the background 
instead of getting stopped ... something is still fishy here, I think.

The output of the iotests is also not optimal yet... when running "make 
check SPEED=slow", the iotests are run multiple times with different target 
image types, but each run prints the same "▶ 1/1 test 001   OK" etc. to the 
console, so it's hard to say which target type  is currently exercised. 
Would it be possible to include the target image type here, e.g. something like:

▶ 1/1 test-qcow2 001                       OK

?
