[Xen-devel] [OSSTEST PATCH v2 5/8] mg-repro-setup: Introduce `statictask' variable

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are going to make a mode where we don't set OSSTEST_TASK.  The
result is that our subprocesses will do whatever they usually do.

Those are mg-allocate (which would allocate for our static task) and
mg-execute-flight which will make a dynamic task.  We must therefore
prevent mg-allocate from running since the allocations would not be
useable for the flight execution.

No functional change yet, since nothing sets statictask=false and
therefore OSSTEST_TASK would always be set.
