Identify and implement kernel test cases to automate

Dump of gobby notes:

Objective: integrate kernel team tests into checkbox

Leann has been working on the scripts
They should be integrate in a test suite
 * kernel smoketests (run daily, as they go quickly)
 * stress tests (run less frequently, more involved)

Problem: the kernel tests (most of them) need sudo
 * workaround: in certification labs, we know the user/password and can hard-code it
 we still need a good way to do this so the community can run these tests with proper credentials prompting

Tests in version control:
 * Create a test suite
 * Get the tree

The kernel team has around 4-5 testsuites
wakealarm tests
suspend/resume tests

Checkbox does not the concept of diverging from a previous snapshot
Checkbox does not support yet the daily v.s. monthly idea (planned for Lucid)

NB: UEC and EC2 kernels are different -- testing UEC does not necessarily help EC2

LTP
Autotest - it is available, but not enabled (it takes a long time to run)
