The iotests in the "auto" group are supposed to work on other OSes
beside Linux, too, since they are run automatically during "make check"
now. You can use github with cirrus-ci to check FreeBSD and macOS, see
e.g.: https://cirrus-ci.com/build/5114679677943808

Travis has support for macOS, too.

And to test them on OpenBSD (or FreeBSD), you can use the VM tests, e.g.
something like this:

make vm-build-openbsd J=8 BUILD_TARGET=check-block \
  EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--target-list=x86_64-softmmu

Sounds good. If it breaks on FreeBSD or macOS, we'll find out with
cirrus-ci or Travis pretty soon.
