Whole lab failure (more precisely, lab operator failure)  ;)

gak, I updated the rootfs images to the latest buildroot, which forced
me to upgrade the kernel headers used to build the rootfs from v3.10 to
v4.4.  So I guess it's no surprise that every single board panic'd as
soon as it hit userspace.

I downgraded the rootfs, and re-ran all those boot tests, and now things
are 100% passing in my lab.

Sorry for the noise,

Kevin
