it's quite difficult to read, but it looks correct to me. Something I wish
we had that we can perhaps add as well here (add dep on -softmmu build):

        $(call run-tests, $(check-qtest-$*-y), $@)
@@ -767,6 +768,7 @@ run-test-%: tests/%

 $(foreach target, $(QTEST_TARGETS), \
        $(eval check-qtest-$(target): QTEST_TARGET := $(target)) \
+       $(eval check-qtest-$(target): subdir-$(target)-softmmu) \
        $(eval check-qtest-$(target): $(patsubst tests/%, run-test-%, \
                                              $(check-qtest-y) \
                                              $(check-qtest-$(target)-y) \


I can post a seperate patch later though,

Similarly, qga test:

-tests/test-qga: tests/test-qga.o $(qtest-obj-y)
+tests/test-qga: tests/test-qga.o $(qtest-obj-y) qemu-ga$(EXESUF)

In any case

Paolo, are you happy with taking this patch?
