[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/2] tests/test-qht-par: test gets stuck intermittently on OSX

[Cleber Rosa]

To be fully honest, this may not be a OSX (alone) condition, but may
be a situation that only happens with OSX on Travis-CI, were resources
are quite limited.

I have personal experience with tests that exercise parallelism or
depend on timing to fail on Travis.  Because I'm not 100% certain that
this is a situation that only happens with OSX on Travis-CI, and
because I'm not certain that we should be skipping tests because
they're running on Travis-CI, let's disable them on OSX as a whole.

A small note: this type of change makes me believe that there should
be a list of testing related caveats or TODO list tracked on the
documentation.
