This will now be inconsistent with scripts/runtime.bash. Also,
the 'kvm only' message conveys that this test can only run with
kvm, as opposed to also with tcg. While I agree it's terse, we've
now lost that information with the new message. Additionally, I
would say 'this system' instead of 'your system' in the message.

I think Radim has some plans for giving run script error messages
an overhaul. Maybe he can address this one with that series too?
Anyway, for now, I would suggest we drop this patch.

Thanks,
drew
