test-run-qemu-do-not-expect-initrd-as-first-parameter.patch test(run-qemu): do not expect -initrd as first parameter
Check all parameters for `-initrd` instead of expecting it to be the
first parameter.

test-run-qemu-include-in-ARGS-array.patch test(run-qemu): include $@ in ARGS array

include `$@` in the `ARGS` array.

test-set-console-cmdline-depending-on-the-architecture.patch test: set console cmdline depending on the architecture
The QEMU process hangs (without printing anything) on some Debian/Ubuntu
architectures. This is caused by the console device is called
differently on those architectures.

So move setting `console` to `run-qemu` and set it to `ttyAMA0` on ARM
systems and to `hvc0` on ppc64el.

test-forward-journald-logs-to-console-in-V-1-or-V-2.patch test: forward journald logs to console in V=1 or V=2
To ease debugging, forward systemd journald logs to console when `V=1`
or `V=2` is set.

test-replace-rev-command-by-sed.patch test: replace rev command by sed
On Debian-based systems, the `rev` command is shipped by the
bsdextrautils package. Replace the `rev` command by `sed` which is an
essential command and does not need additional packages.

test-use-UEFI-for-QEMU-when-available.patch test: use UEFI for QEMU when available
Move the `ovmf_code` function and related code to `run-qemu` and always
use UEFI when available. This is a preperation for the following commit.
Benjamin Drung <benjamin.drung@canonical.com> yes 2025-11-26
test-run-qemu-support-UEFI-on-ARM.patch test(run-qemu): support UEFI on ARM
The OVMF firmware files are builds of EDK II for 64-bit x86 virtual
machines. They do not work on other architectures.

So search for AAVMF files on ARM. Remove the `cfi.pflash01` driver
setting because it does not work on Ubuntu arm64 and `readonly=on` is
already set for the firmware file.

test-run-qemu-use-hvc0-console-on-s390x.patch test(run-qemu): use hvc0 console on s390x
The test `TEST-41-FULL-SYSTEMD` fails (hangs) on s390x:

```

Replacing the default console `ttyS0` by the virtual console `hvc0`
makes the test succeed.
