We are going to enable some of the python-based tests in the "auto"

of adding a check for the availability of virtio-blk to each and every
test (which does not sound very appealing), let's rather add a check for
this a central spot in the "check" script instead (so that it is still
possible to run "make check" for qemu-system-tricore for example).

FYI I proposed a patch adding a binary_get_devices() helper:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg07314.html

You could use something such

   @SkipUntil('virtio-blk' in binary_get_devices(qemu_bin))

Unfortunately, that doesn't scale here. You'd have to add this to almost
all python-based iotests, since the virtio-blk dependency is hard-wired
deep in the code there (look at the add_drive function).

I see.

Back to your patch:
