Ah, that makes sense.  Except for a few outliers that aren't all that interesting,
all KVM selftests create memslots, so I'm tempted to just make it a hard requirement
to spare us headache, e.g.

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/kvm_util.c

 }

but it's also easy enough to be more precise and skip only those that actually
create memslots.
