[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] Add a test for serial output (and sort tests by architecture in the Makefile)

[Thomas Huth]

Since some of the machines that we support in QEMU sometimes get
broken by other changes, and it then takes a while 'till somebody
notices the breakage, it would be nice to get some more automatic
test coverage for various machines during "make check". The
second patch adds such a test for the machines where we've got
a firmware image for and thus can test for some magic strings
in the serial output of the firmware.

The first patch is just a clean-up for the Makefile to avoid that
new tests get added with "=" instead of "+=" (and thus completely
overwrite the correspond variable by accident).

v2:
- Some more clean-ups for the Makefile (i.e. some additional empty
  lines)
- Check return value of read() to make sure that there is no error

Thomas Huth (2):
  tests: Resort check-qtest entries in Makefile.include
  tests: Check serial output of firmware boot of some machines
