It's a good plan, thanks! Client devices can be much cheaper than servers.
They have more diversities in HW while being more general available.

On the other hand, if there are PM functionalities that can be tested
inside QEMU, it'll be good to have. Since no real HW can be tested as
cheap and extensive as the large amount of VMs.

Thanks,
Fengguang
