We don't expect everyone to test every single variant as one wouldn't
be able to make forward progress.
1. Cross testing armv7-a / Thumb2 on qemu is acceptable.
2. If you have the resources (now with A15's) bootstrapping and
regression testing on a modern machine would be so much better.
3. Cross test on qemu for older variants that may fail- you could
consider cross testing on just the older variants. Testing on qemu
comes with it's pitfalls, the threaded tests are a joke / the asan
tests continue to randomly fail but in general it gives you a good
enough indication about how badly things maybe broken.
4. Watch out for any regressions / bug reports from folks on bugzilla
/ the mailing lists and deal with any fallout that comes promptly.
