[Avocado-devel] Arguments with remote target

[Fran Sanchez]

After looking into the code, apparently there isn't support for
variants/multiplexation in the remote runner:

    def run_suite(self, test_suite, variants, timeout=0, replay_map=None,
                  suite_order="variants-per-test"):
        """
        Run one or more tests and report with test result.

        :param params_list: a list of param dicts.
        :param variants: A varianter iterator (unused here)
