On last meeting I mentioned virtio_console test complexity. The complete virtio_console run takes pretty long time (over 4 hours on my laptop). Usually we don't need to execute everything, eg. there are virtserial, virtconsole and mixed variants. For usual testing mixed variant should be enough, but when you debug a problem, virtserial variant is there for you.
And there is more tests, which are intent for monthly testing, some for daily testing. I kept everything in the default config as we agreed on the meeting.

I retested all the tests with all setting and the tests work fine (except the hotplug, which is not yet rewritten). There are many virtio_port failures but there shouldn't be any test failures.

Kind regards,
Lukáš
