Currently, some tests contains target architecture information, in the
form of a "x86_64" tag. But that tag is not respected in the default
execution, that is, "make check-acceptance" doesn't do anything with
it.
That said, even the target architecture handling currently present in
the "avocado_qemu.Test" class is pretty limited. For instance, by
default, it chooses a target based on the host architecture.
Because the original implementation of the tags feature in Avocado did
not include any time of namespace or "key:val" mechanism, no tag has
relation to another tag. The new implementation of the tags feature
from version 67.0 onwards, allows "key:val" tags, and because of that,
a test can be classified with a tag in a given key. For instance, the
new proposed version of the "boot_linux_console.py" test, which
downloads and attempts to run a x86_64 kernel, is now tagged as:
🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
This means that it can be filtered (out) when no x86_64 target is
available. At the same time, tests that don't have a "arch:" tag,
will not be filtered out.

XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is set on vmlinuz shipped by Fedora-28 so that
it's allowed to be loaded below 4 GB address.
timeout is updated to 5 minutes as well since we need more time to load a
large initrd to the guest

QEMU have already supported to load up to 4G initrd if the sepcified memory is
enough and XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is set by guest kernel
linux-3.6 kernel shipped by Fedora-18 cannot support xldflags so that it
cannot support loading more than 2GiB initrd

The Avocado test runner attemps to find its INSTRUMENTED (that is,
Python based tests) in a manner that is as safe as possible to the
user. Different from plain Python unittest, it won't load or
execute test code on an operation such as:
$ avocado list tests/acceptance/
Before version 68.0, the logic implemented to identify INSTRUMENTED
tests would require either the "🥑 enable" or "🥑
recursive" statement as a flag for tests that would not inherit
directly from "avocado.Test". This is not necessary anymore,
and because of that the boiler plate statements can now be removed.

QEMU used to exits with a not accurate error message when
an initrd > 2GiB was passed. That was fixed on patch:
commit f3839fda57
Author: Li Zhijian <lizhijian@cn.fujitsu.com>
Date: Thu Sep 13 18:07:13 2018 +0800
change get_image_size return type to int64_t
This change adds a regression test for that fix. It starts
QEMU with a 2GiB dummy initrd, and checks that it evaluates the
file size correctly and prints an accurate message.
