Duh, Paolo updated kvm/queue.  Where's Captain Obvious when you need him...

I pushed a new version that's based on the current kvm/queue, commit 5e9402ac128b.
arm and x86 look good (though I've yet to test on AMD).

Thomas,
If you get a chance, could you rerun the s390 tests?  The recent refactorings to
use TAP generated some fun conflicts.

Speaking of TAP, I added a patch to convert __TEST_REQUIRE to use ksft_exit_skip()
instead of KVM's custom print_skip().  The s390 tests are being converted to use
TAP output, I couldn't see any advantage of KVM's arbitrary "skipping test" over
TAP-friendly output, and converting everything is far easier than special casing s390.
