We can throw it at the infrastructure and see what comes out.

I think you have supplied all the necessary moving parts.

That could be done in make-flight.  But:

 * You need to make your ts-xen-build changes work with
   earlier Xens which do not have the `make tests' etc.

 * If you split your hypervisor test patches into their own dist (eg
   `xenlptdist' for `live patch test'), and do not generate that
   output when the Xen build didn't support it, the existing machinery
   will spot that your live tests are blocked on earlier Xen, and
   report that as a single non-regression test failure "never pass"
   for earlier Xens - and it will do that before it allocates
   a host.

Thanks,
Ian.
