I'm using gitlab CI for my own tests before I send PULL requests, and as
far as I understood the system, you only get a hosted Ubuntu- or
Debian-based hosted CI on gitlab.com, see e.g.:

 https://gitlab.com/huth/qemu/pipelines/43295916

For other environments, you've got to provide your own infrastructure
with the appropriate runner scripts.

So yes, I think supporting Cirrus-CI makes sense indeed if we get
FreeBSD coverage this way.
