Thanks Bruce!

Just to summarise where we're at:

a) The runtime stap tests fail everywhere, we probably need systemtap 
   patches.
b) Issue with KMACHINE_qemuarm = "qemuarma15" not working, blocks 
   qemuarm armv7 switch
c) qemumips and qemuppc:
   https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/60/builds/365/steps/7/logs/step1c
   https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/63/builds/365/steps/7/logs/step1c
   RESULTS - kernelmodule.KernelModuleTest.test_kernel_module - Testcase 1541: FAILED 
d) perf do_compile race seen on qemuarm64 (didn't reproduce locally):
   https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/42/builds/366/steps/7/logs/step1b
e) qemuarm64 graphics startup issue

Cheers,
