I have not been running test cases in this manner in years and don't
know what to expect from it.. I would recommend using the User Mode
Linux approach (see tests/hwsim/README) or with a KVM VM through
vm-run.sh (also mentioned in that README).

The previously used buildbot.w1.fi does not exist anymore and won't be
coming back, so I guess those forgotten links need to be removed as
well.
