I guess it depends on how you define "fast".  Does "fast-testing"
include a full device-crash-test run (that could take ~30
minutes) or the full set of iotests?

I believe the existing users of qemu.py wouldn't want to have
dependencies on libvirt or other external modules (e.g. code that
test specific QMP commands and/or is run by "make check").

Even if the existing test code wouldn't benefit from libvirt, I
agree there is some value in writing test code that uses libvirt.
But in this case would the test code belong to the QEMU source
tree, or somewhere else?
