Do manual testing:
Host: AMD CPU model 1216/AMD 9600B/AMD 5400B * i386/x86_64
Guest: RHEL4.9, RHEL5.7, RHEL6.1 * i386/x86_64
Case: Installation, Boot/Reboot/Shutdown/pause/unpause, Save/Restore/migration,
      Manual migration on Win 2008r2 

Do auto jobs:
Intel host with acceptance test
PV guest with acceptance test
Win guest with installation and acceptance testing
