As discussed here:

it would be good to have some more valuable iotests enabled in the
"auto" group to get better iotest coverage during "make check".
Since these Python-based tests require a QEMU that features a 'virtio-blk'
device, we can only run the Python tests if this device is available. With
binaries like qemu-system-tricore, the Python-based tests will be skipped.
v4:
- The check for 'virtio-blk' is now done in the tests/qemu-iotests/check
script instead of tests/check-block.sh (to avoid to duplicate the code
that searches for the right QEMU binary - and we can also still run
the shell-based tests this way).
- Added the new patch to check for the availability of virtio devices in
the iotests 127 and 267.
- The patch that drops test 130 from the "auto" group has already been
merged and thus been dropped from this series.
v3:
- Test 183 fails on Patchew, so I removed it from the "auto" group
again
v2:
- Checked the iotests with NetBSD, too (now that Eduardo has
re-activated Gerd's patches for creating NetBSD VM images)
- Use 'openbsd' instead of 'openbsd6'
- Use 'grep -q' instead of 'grep' for grep'ing silently
- Added the patch to disable 130 from the "auto" group
John Snow (1):
iotests: remove 'linux' from default supported platforms
Thomas Huth (5):
iotests: Test 041 only works on certain systems
iotests: Test 183 does not work on macOS and OpenBSD
iotests: Check for the availability of the required devices in 267 and
127
iotests: Skip Python-based tests if QEMU does not support virtio-blk
iotests: Enable more tests in the 'auto' group to improve test
coverage
