Where is this tool?

Whis is less nice than the previous notation:

new:

    - name: pathlist
        type:
            - *IscsiSessionInfo

old:

          'pathlist': ['IscsiSessionInfo'],

I don't see how to make this better.

We can solve this issue by marking tests as slowtest, but we better use more
specific tags such as "integration", for tests that depend on the
environment, and
"privileged" for tests that requires root.
