Ian is still plugging in his computers after moving desks. But having
spoken to him IRL it seems I'm not quite right above.

The arguments passed to ts-* in sg-run-job should _always_ be just a
bare indent. The ident=foo thing is a special case for standalone mode.

However, Ian did also say (and I agreed) that there really isn't any
reason why the ident and the hostname should differ here (or indeed the
guest name from l0's point of view, modulo the suffix osstest sometimes
adds).

Ian.
