Anthony, how would we merge this best?

I can rewrite the history of qemu-iotests to move everything into a
tests/qemu-iotests/ directory and rewrite the subject lines of all
commits to include "qemu-iotests" (actually I have just tried it out
locally, so this part is done). We could then just pull from this
temporary repository and keep all of the existing git history.

I would send a pull request then without reposting all the patches in
the history of qemu-iotests as some of them are pretty big.

Would that work for you? Should I add a Signed-off-by to each patch for
rewriting the history or would it be okay with Christoph's existing SoB?
