Would that help ? -next has been more or less unusable for a week or so.
Maybe it is just a bad time (it hasn't been as bad as it is right now
for quite some time), but

Build results:
	total: 135 pass: 133 fail: 2
Qemu test results:
	total: 315 pass: 112 fail: 203

on next-20180910 doesn't really make me very confident that useful regression
tests on -next are even possible. it seems to me that -next is quite often
used as dumping ground for sparsely tested changes, and is far from "ready
for upstream".
