As discussed here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-10/msg00697.html
and here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-10/msg01388.html it would be good to have some more valuable iotests enabled in the "auto" group to get better iotest coverage during "make check". And once Max' "iotests: Add and use $SOCK_DIR" patch series has been merged, we can indeed enable these Python-based tests, too. There is just one small downside: Since these tests require a QEMU that features a 'virtio-blk' device, we cannot run the iotests with binaries like qemu-system-tricore anymore. But since the iotests were not very useful with such binaries anyway, I think it's ok now if we skip them there.
