I think both, kvm-unit-tests or qtest+libqos would be good candidates. Please don't invent a new bios base test image, since kvm-unit-tests should be very similar already and we really don't need to duplicate work here. Anyway, you'd need to add some CSS infracture there first (in both kvm-unit-tests and the qtest environments), so it's likely a similar amount of work. qtest has the advantage that it gets checked automatically during "make check" each time, so I'd have a weak preference for that one.
