The Valgrind uses the exported variable TMPDIR and fails if the
directory does not exist. Let us exclude such a test case from
being run under the Valgrind and notify the user of it.

The only other way around this would be a complicated mechanism to set
the TMPDIR for valgrind's sub-processes only, with e.g.

valgrind ... env TMPDIR=/nonexistent qemu ...

... It's probably not worth trying to concoct such a thing; but I
suppose it is possible. You'd have to set up a generic layer for setting
environment variables, then in the qemu shim, you could either set them
directly (non-valgrind invocation) or set them as part of the valgrind
command-line.

Or you could just take my R-B:

Thanks again John for your review and the advice.
Probably, it doesn't worth efforts to manage that case because QEMU 
should fail anyway with the error message "Could not get temporary 
filename: No such file or directory". So, we would not benefit much from 
that run. We have other test cases that cover the main functionality. 
It's just to check the QEMU error path for possible memory issues. Shall we?

Yeah, don't bother with this for now. I just have a personal compulsion
to try to concretely measure how much work it would take to avoid a
"hack" and then make my decision.

You're free to just take the R-B :)
