Okay, I’ve looked into the code, and the reason for this approach is
that I want to treat the PVM and the “normal” test case as two separate
test cases, but using the same test configuration. I don’t see how I can
achieve this by editing s390x/run and for the standalone case.

Maybe this approach is already broken and I should simply add the PVM
testcases as extra test cases to the unittest.cfg - but this would
result in duplicated code in the configuration file.
