Everything is in place to run the tests using kvmtool:
$ ./configure --target=kvmtool
$ make clean && make
$ KVMTOOL=<path/to/kvmtool> ./run_tests.sh
so enable it, and remove ERRATA_FORCE=y when configuring for kvmtool,
because the runner will generate and pass the correct environment to
kvmtool.
Missing is support for EFI tests. That's because distros don't ship a
EDK2 binary compiled for kvmtool, and on top of that kvm-unit-tests as
an EFI app hasn't been tested to work with kvmtool.

Should I also revert commit 35145f140442 ("arm/arm64: kvmtool: force all tests
to run") which introduced ERRATA_FORCE? I didn't do this now in case other
architectures use it/planning to use it.
