Minimal test case (using -kernel) is available at
tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py.

A larger test case can be run using "make vm-build-ubuntu.i386".
Includes boot of a Ubuntu guest, ssh connection to the guest, and
building QEMU inside the VM.

Q35 can probably be tested using the same test cases above.  We
need to check.
