Hi Alex,

As our set of multiarch tests has grown the practice of running every
plugin with every test is becoming unsustainable. If we switch to
ensuring every test gets run with at least one plugin we can speed
things up.

Some plugins do need to be run with specific tests (for example the
memory instrumentation test). We can handle this by manually adding
them to EXTRA_RUNS. We also need to wrap rules in a CONFIG_PLUGIN test
so we don't enable the runs when plugins are not enabled.

I'm not sure how it's related, but check-tcg on aarch64 host now fails [1] 
since this series was merged, and I suspect it may be related to this patch. I 
didn't spend time to reproduce and investigate it.

I was not able to reproduce it locally on 22.04, but in the CI indeed the test command is 
missing the "test-plugin-mem-access" binary at the end, just before redirection 
to .so.out, it should be:

[...] -D test-plugin-mem-access-with-libmem.so.pout test-plugin-mem-access >  
run-plugin-test-plugin-mem-access-with-libmem.so.out

not:

[...] -D test-plugin-mem-access-with-libmem.so.pout  >  
run-plugin-test-plugin-mem-access-with-libmem.so.out

Gustavo
