Before this change the tests ran in about 12m34 and afterwards in about 6m20, although the real change is more dramatic if you only run tests from the tests/ subdirectory (as language tests still run serially). This breaks valgrinding for now, which I intend to fix properly later.
The tests in this directory simply run SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX (if available) to make sure they work. However if you want, you can also try booting the resultant guests, although this is not part of the test. qemu-kvm -hda syslinux-guest.img qemu-kvm -hda extlinux-guest.img Note that there is just a kernel, no operating system, inside these guests so the Linux kernel is expected to panic once it tries to find an init process to run. (You could modify these tests to add an init process if you wanted to).
