[RFC PATCH v2 21/29] tests/acceptance/virtio_check_params: Kludge to skip tests on MIPS

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The MIPS default machine expects a BIOS.
To be able to run QMP queries on the machine, we have to use
the '-bios' command line option.

RFC: This is not the correct place, this should be generic,
     or the MIPS machine need some rework.
