Tests can be generic and to be run on several archs: we need the
strcmp() to check the guest arch [1], it can't be hardcoded in the test.

const char *qtest_get_arch(void)
{
    const char *qemu = getenv("QTEST_QEMU_BINARY");
    g_assert(qemu != NULL);
    const char *end = strrchr(qemu, '/');

    return end + strlen("/qemu-system-");
