This is a collection of patches for the Acceptance Tests to leverage some of the features of Avocado 91.0. With the Avocado version bump by itself, there would be a change in the default "test runner" implementation that Avocado uses, from the one simply known as "runner" to the new one called "nrunner".
Among the changes from one implementation to the other, is the fact that "nrunner" will run tests in parallel by default. This is *not yet* enabled by default on "make check-acceptance", but users can choose to use simply by setting the "AVOCADO_RUNNER" variable, that is: make AVOCADO_RUNNER=nrunner check-acceptance If you are curious about the architectural differences of the nrunner, please refer to: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/91.0/guides/contributor/chapters/runners.html One other noteworthy proposal is a convention to tag tests that either have known issues, or that touch on QEMU features that have known issues. By tagging those tests accordingly, they will be automatically excluded from the regular execution with "make check-acceptance". Finally, some updates to assets locations and some tests refactors and cleanups.
