Description
I haven't tried running the PHD tests pointed at Windows specifically in a minute, but I recall that some of the tests just are not happy on Windows. some of them (lspci?) have Linux-isms and I'm not sure if there are reasonable Windows implementations or we should just keep them flagged. but, it'd be nice to just point at a Windows guest and be able to run the whole suite to a reasonable "it's fine" or "it's not fine" out come.

Research direction
Start by running the PHD test suite against a Windows guest and recording which tests fail. Inspect the Linux-specific cases mentioned in the issue, including lspci, and determine whether each can run on Windows or should remain flagged. Done means the suite produces a reliable overall result for Windows, with unsupported tests clearly identified.
