Results from Linaroâs test farm.
No regressions on arm64, arm and x86_64.

I made a few comments inline regarding the reported failures. Also, as
this report is pushing 200 lines now with all of our tests and
environments (about 8*22 test runs), I'm planning on making some changes
in the next few weeks to make it more concise and useful. Any
suggestions or feature requests are most welcome.
