So far, we had no automated tests that actually booted a kernel
on every push (or PR). This series addresses this by 
a Debian ARM64 image and trying to boot it three times:

  - via GRUB
  - directly via kernel EFI stub
  - directly without EFI

Ahmad Fatoum (5):
  test: arm: multi_v8_efiloader_defconfig: use qcow2 image
  test: py: strategy: add helpers for booting kernel and bootm
  test: py: efiloader: prepare get_dmesg for more general usage
  test: py: add more kernel boot tests
  ci: add Debian ARM64 EFI loader boot test
