You can just run the test from the command line. For QTests you also
need to pass a variable telling it which QEMU binary to use and since
recently also which qemu-img or so.

If someone has an idea how we could implement make
check-qtest-<target>-<testname> or check-unit-<testname> that would be
appreciated. check-qtest-<testname> would seem to collide with our
wildcard handling of targets, but might be handy, too.
