Well, it is not obvious how to use the NixOS regression tests (designed
to work by simulated an installed OS) here directly. Using CD image very
close to real installation CD (and letting it be simulated as a CD) is a
nice feature here.

It even looks like returning kqemu support (as there was in pre-modular
NixOS automated installation test) will be easy..
