There is nothing useful there, or at least I don't see anything useful.
The Ethernet interfaces (sun4i-emac for cubieboard and ethoc for xtensa)
just don't come up.

Sample logs:

cubieboard:

https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-arm-v7-master/builds/531/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

xtensa:

https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-xtensa-master/builds/2177/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

and, for completeness, bletchley-bmc:

https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-arm-aspeed-master/builds/531/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

Those logs are without the above set of patches, but I don't see a
difference with the patches applied for cubieboard and xtensa. I
started a complete test run (for all emulations) with the patches
applied; that should take about an hour to complete. 
I could also add some debug logging, but you'd have to give me
some hints about what to add and where.

Yes, sorry.

Thanks,
