Actually, I think make check should be something that runs _really_
quickly. We'll probably want another make check-full or something that
runs more extensive tests.

That's the reason why the patch I proposed earlier today runs only a few
qemu-iotests cases during make check. The whole thing would already take
too long for everyone to use it. If people run some quick sanity tests
for all of qemu plus the full tests in the subsystem in which they're
making changes, I think that would be the best we can realistically expect.
