Whiteboard

[dpigott: 5-Nov-2012: Ryan and I worked out a solution - awaiting binaries]
[dpigott: 20-Nov-2012]: This is complete for the only way possible at the moment. Suggest moving the final solution to 12.12, because we won't have the proper solution available until then.

Meta:
Headline: LAVA can execute vexpress jobs using the test images DTB
Acceptance: Both health checks using one DTB and normal jobs (android/ubuntu) using other DTBs can be executed.
Roadmap Id: LAVA MAINTENANCE
