LAVA is happy to run your test on any hardware pack and root fs you 
want. The first step is to make your test visible to the stack. To do 
that you should wrap it with our lava-test framework. If your test can 
be compiled to a simple executable and invoked to check for correctness 
then wrapping it should be easy as pie. Look at LAVA test documentation 
lava: http://lava-test.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html (and report 
back on missing pieces).

The next step is to determine when your test should run. I think that 
there is nothing wrong with simply running it daily on all the hardware 
packs.
