general

Note: This session is for major, multi-person items. We'll update the status weekly based on the status of the subtasks attributed to persons.

mgoldish

• Make WHQL tests run on our internal server
• Enable "guest-load" for a VMs before/while tests are running (e.g. migration of a VM, while a movie is playing on it)
  • This may just be a matter of moving useful code from tests to kvm_test_utils.py to make it reusable
