Since some of the machines that we support in QEMU sometimes get broken by other changes, and it then takes a while 'till somebody notices the breakage, it would be nice to get some more automatic test coverage for various machines during "make check". The second patch adds such a test for the machines where we've got a firmware image for and thus can test for some magic strings in the serial output of the firmware.
The first patch is just a clean-up for the Makefile to avoid that new tests get added with "=" instead of "+=" (and thus completely overwrite the correspond variable by accident).
