This is on a VM with file-backed devices, that I use for initial tests
of patches before they go to other branches. It's a slow setup but helps
me to identify problems early as I can run a few in parallel. I'd still
like to have the run time below say 5 hours (currently it's 4). Though I
can skip some thests I'd rather not due to coverage, but if there's no
other way I'll have to.

On a another host, VM with physical disks it's closer to that time, it
took about 13 minutes which is acceptable.
