The autobuilder configuration would have to be changed:

https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-autobuilder-helper/tree/config.json

This will have impact on the test matrix and the time it takes to build
so I am not sure what exactly should be added or changed. Perhaps we
can add one more step to qemu-alt configurations to build only the
minimal image using linux-yocto-dev kernel and then run testimage?
