I don't see any problem with the series, but I didn't review it closely.
I think it's unlikely we'll get reviewers, but, as the tests are
nodefault, then that's probably OK. Can you make sure all tests have a
"tcg" type prefix when they are TCG-only, like the last patch does for
its tests? That will help filter them out when building all tests as
standalone tests. Someday mkstandalone could maybe learn how to build
a directory hierarchy using the group names, e.g.

 tests/mttcg/tlb/all_other

but I don't expect to have time for that myself anytime soon, so prefixes
will likely have to do for now (or forever).

Thanks,
drew
