Similar to the x86_64 + pc test, it boots a Linux kernel on a Malta
board and verify the serial is working.

If mips64el is a target being built, "make check-acceptance" will
automatically include this test by the use of the "arch:mips" tags.

Alternatively, this test can be run using:

    $ avocado run -t arch:mips64el tests/acceptance
    $ avocado run -t machine:malta tests/acceptance

Yes.  In fact, because of the kernel change in the previous patch, I've
added it there.

In the longer term, I expect to add deb (and RPM, etc) support to the
avocado.utils.archive module:

What about having a generic KERNEL_COMMON_COMMAND_LINE='printk.time=0 '
then using
  kernel_command_line = KERNEL_COMMON_COMMAND_LINE + 'console=ttyS0'
in each tests of this series?

Not sure... I do like the fact that it's more uniform, but I don't like
the locality aspect.  Having to refer back to something defined either
in the module or class level for something so small is a big con, IMO.

I'll keep it AS IS for now, and if more people feel like it's a good
idea, or you feel stronger that it's a good idea, I can add it in the
next version.

Thanks!

I'm fine with that, however I'd really like all the Linux tests to use
"printk.time=0" in their kernel cmdline, it really simplify
parsing/diffing the console output.
