It might also be nice to have them be a separate top level test,
so that the tests can be run in parallel. AIUI having 1 test
with 6 subtests forces all 6 to run in sequence, whereas with
2 tests and 3 subtests each you can at least use 2 host CPUs.
Or does the qtest subtest handling include parallelism?
