@Boris,

Would it be possible to have the results of this test framework posted to
the list, like osstest does?

@Linux-Maintainers,

It occurs to me that osstest doesn't have a branch which is testing your
kernel tree. Do you have a fast-forwarding branch in git
://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git which merges up some
forward looking set of changes? If so I can pretty trivially arrange an
osstest branch to track it.

(If there isn't a f-forwarding one maybe it would still be worth testing
something, it just probably wouldn't get bisected in any useful way if it
broke).

Ian.
