It doesn't, we only test seabios.git#master.

However only things tested via master go into the stable branches and in
general they are very quiet (i.e. low numbers of backports over the
lifetime of a given stable branch, e.g. there were 12 backports to 1.8-
stable since the 1.8.0 release in February 2015) and conservative.

I'm content to rely on the xen-unstable branch's testing of this change
after it goes in.
