We're currently facing the problem that the gitlab-CI jobs for the shared runners take too much of the limited CI minutes on gitlab.com. Here are now some patches that optimize some of the jobs a little bit to take less runtime. We slightly lose some test coverage by some of these changes (e.g. by dropping ppc-softmmu from a Clang-based test and only continue testing ppc64-softmmu with Clang in another job), but that should still be much better than running out of CI minutes after 3/4 of a month.
FWIW the last time I wanted to add some tests Alex suggested me to run a before/after gcov report and justify the new path tested. Maybe we should enforce something similar, either cover new paths or fix a bug.
