There are also difference configs. I think 'kernel test robot' is very good
tools. If there are guide to mirror it, we can try. It is not neccesary to
duplicate to develop a build test infrastrue.

The issue is not that run build test. The key problem is how to know a
protential problem will be exist, and limited a build/config scrope.

Even I have risc\ppc\x86_64 built before I submmit patch, still can't
capture build error if I missed just one platform mc6800.

For `readq` error also depend on the configs.

Actually, we major focus on test edmav1, .... v5 at difference platforms
before submit patches.
