Build results:
	total: 151 pass: 151 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
	total: 462 pass: 460 fail: 2
Failed tests:
	arm:raspi2:multi_v7_defconfig:net,usb:bcm2836-rpi-2-b:initrd
	arm:raspi2:multi_v7_defconfig:sd:net,usb:bcm2836-rpi-2-b:rootfs

I have seen a pull request that fixes the raspi2 problem. Hopefully that
fix should be in -rc3.
