Yes. Things like the stuff that Guenter does every -rc, and that
invariably finds several issues every single merge window.
Like actually booting up the kernel on multiple different odd
architectures. But also much more complex things than just running a
torture test for a very small piece of the kernel.
The same way linux-next does the build testing on many different
architectures, and that often finds things that developers missed
simply because the bulk of developers are still purely on x86-64.
