I've found that the buildbots are pretty useless for me as
a submaintainer. If there was a way I could say "ok, tree
is ready to go, kick off a build and send me the results
in an hour" then that would be useful. A 24 hour turnaround
means I've already sent the pullrequest before the buildbot
kicks off.

Also:
 * I just tried to check http://buildbot.b1-systems.de/qemu/grid
and I get a 504 Gateway Time-out error...
 * looking at the latest arm-devs build it's failed
configure because the buildbot doesn't either (a) have
a suitable libfdt or (b) have the appropriate command
to init the dtc submodule. I'm pretty sure I never got
an email about this, so I imagine it's been busted for
months.
