This is true. I'll change it.
The emulator should not be executed at all from the test suite.
Agreed, I just wasn't sure how to do that. I'll need to do more poking around
the test code. Any suggestions of an existing example or pattern to follow would
be much appreciated.

ACK, the values generated assumed the qemu-xen emulator,
since my qemu-dm does not live in /usr/lib/xen/bin
You would only have qemu-dm if Xen was installed (it wouldn't be in a -devel
package) and it was built with '--enable-qemu-traditional'.
I think this is a good change even if as a side affect it works around the make
check failures when /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists, As mentioned in the commit
message, the changed test files contain config that require upstream qemu
anyhow, so using qemu-dm provides a bad example config.
I've pushed the patches. Thanks for helping with this!
