6*6bf19c94SChristoph HellwigThis package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
7*6bf19c94SChristoph HellwigIt does not requite a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
8*6bf19c94SChristoph Hellwigbinaries.  This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
9*6bf19c94SChristoph Hellwigbut no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
