If you mean the two calls in state_test and evmcs_test I would agree
they should be dropped directly.

Just to mention that the patch may not apply cleanly to kvm/queue now
probably because the dirty-log-test.c touchup recently, so may need a
rebase. Otherwise it looks nice at least to me to have these checks.
