That's a good point.  At the moment there's really nothing there about
testing your patch before submission, which is a bit of an ommission.

[1] covers a bunch of ways that qemu can be tested, but doesn't give
much idea about priority.

+eblake, you seem to have made more mods than anyone else to the
SubmitAPatch wiki page.  What do you think about adding a subsection
about what basic testing you should do before posting a patch?
