One more comment on this patch:

If you plan to make 'noinstall' the default build mode, then let's
not run the build test at all by default.  If we run it with 'noinstall',
it will just run the preprocessor and postprocessor, and those will kill
any living VMs because no VMs are required for the build test.  So a user
won't be able to run a reboot test, keep the VM alive, modify the config
file and then run a different test on the same living VM, because the
preprocessor of the second 'build' test will kill the VM.

To avoid this, we can just remove the 'noinstall' variant from
kvm_build.cfg, and keep the 'only noinstall' statement.  Because there's
no 'noinstall' variant, the resulting test list will be empty, so nothing
will run.  We should probably add a comment reminding the user that it's
possible to disable installation by stating 'only noinstall' or 'only
nothing' (in case the user replaced 'noinstall' with something else).

Alternatively, we can disable installation in the control file by commenting
out some line.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] [RFC] KVM test: Major control file cleanup

One thing that just occurred to me is, if we have a test config
"library" as you said, it's perfectly possible to put the actual test
set definitions and other config files inside the control file as
strings. This way one can control configuration inside the control file,
making it more convenient for usage, let's say, inside the autotest web
interface. Since the control file would be reduced in size, the
configuration snippets being in the control file would not be a huge
problem, while keeping the original autotest philosophy of keeping stuff
inside the control file... What do you think?
