My config never seems to build and run the tests that I need, I had
it work once, and then never again. So I prefer to just build, boot
and run tests manually.

Regardless of the automation, I can easily do "make scripts prepare"
on the kernel-devsrc package, so that is extremely odd that it doesn't
work with that image. I'll try and add devsrc to a sato build and see
of objtool goes nuts.

I'm also unable to build lttng-modules for mips at the moment, so at
least mips is untestable for me.
