[qemu-s390x] [PATCH v5 04/20] Acceptance tests: introduce arch parameter


From: Cleber Rosa
Subject: [qemu-s390x] [PATCH v5 04/20] Acceptance tests: introduce arch parameter and attribute
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:18:08 -0400

It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
 * the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
 * the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
   as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image

This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.

Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

+The architecture can be used on different levels of the stack, e.g. by
+the framework or by the test itself.  At the framework level, it will
+currently influence the selection of a QEMU binary (when one is not
+explicitly given).

+Tests are also free to use this attribute value, for their own needs.
+A test may, for instance, use the same value when selecting the
+architecture of a kernel or disk image to boot a VM with.

+The ``arch`` attribute will be set to the test parameter of the same
