Hard to say, because I believe only covering all the tests would be
enough for us to find if the linux-linaro tree is at least in the same
shape as the LT one.

We can simply just test the linux-linaro based one, as done by
Android, but then we'll be switching the kernel at the LEB without
having any data to compare if the results are at least expected.

Guess we need to discuss better how we'll be doing the linux-linaro
LEB transition, as this will probably happen with the other flavors
soon.
