[Qemu-devel] 'make check' failure on Fedora 23

[Eric Blake]

Fedora 23 recently pushed acpica-tools.x86_64 20160318-1.fc23; with this
installed, 'make check-qtest' (part of 'make check') now fails with:

GTESTER check-qtest-x86_64

Reverting (# dnf downgrade --disablerepo=updates acpica-tools) to
acpica-tools.x86_64 20150619-2.fc23 lets the tests pass again.  I don't
know enough about the test or the tools to know if the problem is a
change in expected output (the qemu test is not tolerant enough, in
which case we should improve the test), or a regression in upstream
acpica-tools (in which case I should file a BZ), but this should
probably be addressed before 2.6.
