Test 067 from qemu-iotests is executing QMP commands to hotplug
and hot-unplug disks, devices and blockdevs. Because the power
of the text-based test harness is limited, it is actually limiting
the checks that it does, for example by skipping DEVICE_DELETED
events.
tests/qtest already has a similar test, drive_del-test.c.
We can merge them, and even reuse some of the existing code in
drive_del-test.c. This will improve the quality of the test by
covering DEVICE_DELETED events and testing multiple architectures
(therefore covering multiple PCI hotplug mechanisms as well as s390x
virtio-ccw).
The only difference is that the new test will always use null-co:// for
the medium rather than qcow2 or raw, but this should be irrelevant for
what the test is covering. For example there are no "qemu-img check"
runs in 067 that would check that the file is properly closed.
The new tests requires PCI hot-plug support, so drive_del-test
is moved from qemu-system-ppc to qemu-system-ppc64.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
