We just discussed this on the #kernelci IRC channel. Since kernelci
has a whitelist of branches and 3.16 isn't currently on it, how about
just adding a different git tree for Ben's 3.2-rc and 3.16-rc releases?

Ben, do you have a git URL that we can add to kernelci, and and
an email address you want to see the build results at?
