But I didn't consider {DEFAULT_}REVISION_LINUX{_ARM} and how it
interacts:

        Branch		$TREE_LINUX#$REVISION_LINUX	$TREE_LINUX_ARM#$R_L_ARM
        xen-unstable	pvops#tested/linux-3.4		pvops#tested/linux-arm-xen
        linux-linus	torvalds#master			pvops#XXX
        linux-arm-xen	stefano#master			stefano#master
        osstest		pvops#tested/linux-3.4		pvops#tested/linux-arm-xen

pvops#XXX == the revision from torvalds#master, but with the pvops tree
i.e. the brokeness I started out trying to fix.

What this means is that osstest's own push gate is currently blocked
because it is trying to test using the standard tree on armhf -- which
is a 3.4 tree and has no support for any of the stuff we need. I suspect
xen-unstable would also be broken by this (so its good the push gate
caught it).

One way (to bodge?) around this would be to use $R_L on any branch
matching linux-* *except* linux-arm-xen and for anything else to use
$R_L_A for (on armhf only of course). This has the affect (I hope) of
using the right branch for gating trees like linux-linus and
linux-arm-xen but continuing to use the correct tested branch for the
arch.

But I can't help thinking that this should perhaps be solved further up
by e.g. making $TREE_LINUX_ARM#$REVISION_LINUX_ARM be correct for
linux-linus -- i.e. by making some change in ap-common:info_linux_tree.

I'm not sure what that would look like though -- it might be easiest to
thrash this stuff out f2f later.

In the meantime here something which I think might fix mfi-common as I
described 3 paras ago...

Ian.

Which is what we did. 2 patches will follow, the first to revert the
incorrect change, the second to introduce the proper fix.

Ian -- it seems that osstest.git#pretest is in a state where I could
rewind instead of reverting the first change -- which do you prefer
under the circumstances?

Ian.
