Ultimately, I'd like to push this into qemu since nothing we're doing

What advantage does inclusion with qemu give?
AFAICS You're going to have to download gigabytes of images anyway, so
wouldn't it make more sense to include the test script with those?
The tests themselves are meant to run against pretty much any Linux
image that's configured to use the serial port as a console. The idea
is to be able to run the individual tests with arbitrary QEMU command
lines (think -smp 2 for instance) against arbitrary Linux images. Yeah,
it can't guarantee to be perfect but in practice, it seems to work
pretty well.
Ryan's also included a "make check" framework that assumes a set of
existing images. That may not be useful within QEMU but I think the
tests themselves are.
