Right and this is fully CI compatible with both Github and Gitlab
with only a single tweak: BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU needs to be added
to the qemu config. It is CI agnostic test environment to put 
short.

I've had this also deployed to the CI in the past. It can run both
x86 and aarch64 based runners and even emulates hardware TPM in
three different modes (TPM 1.2, TPM 2.0 FIFO, TPM 2.0 CRB).

I've been just wondering why we need kernel tree changes for Gitlab
CI when you can pretty easily just bootstrap toolchain and qemu
and call it a day (and with trimmed builds it is quite fast too).
