At least I don't have enough spare time to do such a big conversion all at once - I'm only occasionally looking at the KVM selftests, mostly for s390x, and I also lack the knowledge how to test all those x86 tests. So don't expect such a big conversion from me, all I can provide is a small patch here or there.

Sorry, I somehow completely missed that KVM_ONE_VCPU_TEST suggestion when picking up the series up again after working on other stuff for more than half a year. I'll try to incorporate this into the next version.
(the other patches don't need a fixture, so I think they shouldn't be affected by this?)
