[PATCH 0/8] gitlab-ci: Add accelerator-specific Linux jobs

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Hi,

I was custom to use Travis-CI for testing KVM builds on s390x/ppc
with the Travis-CI jobs.

During October Travis-CI became unusable for me (extremely slow,
see [1]). Then my free Travis account got updated to the new
"10K credit minutes allotment" [2] which I burned without reading
the notification email in time (I'd burn them eventually anyway).

Today Travis-CI is pointless to me. While I could pay to run my
QEMU jobs, I don't think it is fair for an Open Source project to
ask its forks to pay for a service.

As we want forks to run some CI before contributing patches, and
we have cross-build Docker images available for Linux hosts, I
added some cross KVM/Xen build jobs to Gitlab-CI.

Cross-building doesn't have the same coverage as native building,
as we can not run the tests. But this is still useful to get link
failures.

Each job is added in its own YAML file, so it is easier to notify
subsystem maintainers in case of troubles.

Resulting pipeline:

Regards,

Phil.
