Should I try to read the number of host cpus from some other source?
If you know something I can read that also works on big.LITTLE, then
I can change it now.

Ah, this is due to the weird way qemu's debugexit device sets its exit
code
hw/misc/debugexit.c:debug_exit_write()
{
exit((val << 1) | 1);
}
To be consistent with that we made chr-testdev do the same thing (see
backends/testdev.c:testdev_eat_packet():case 'q'). Now, the
kvm-unit-tests run_tests.sh script knows about that, so it has
eval $cmdline >> test.log
if [ $? -le 1 ]; then
echo -e "\e[32mPASS\e[0m $1"
else
echo -e "\e[31mFAIL\e[0m $1"
fi
Yes, this sucks, as we can't tell the difference between qemu failing
to run the test, and exiting with 1 vs. the test running, passing -
exiting with (0 << 1) | 1. It's too bad debugexit didn't set a higher
bit (like 5 or 6) to flag a "debug exit". Maybe it's not too late to
change it? Paolo?

Thanks!
