Btw, not sure if any of you have seen the 0-day kbuild setup that intel has..

runs various builds for different archs on every commit with different configs, randconfig, etc. And various checks with sparse, smatch, etc. Seems kinda useful, and would be a worthwhile goal to get arm arch to the point of "it just compiles and boots" like x86 is, vs arm which has a lot higher tendency to be broken if you don't have the right kernel config, etc. I guess on x86, they boot test all the kernels too on VMs. Perhaps we could go one better with something tied in to lava?
I know Vince Sanders (in CC) used to have something like this set up, regularly building lots of variations of ARM kernels back when he was at Simtec. Maybe he could help / give advice...
