Just to double check.  This should be safe because it gets us a newer
build environment for Linux, but the resulting kernel and modules are
not tied the alpine runtime.

i.e. I can commit this to test-artefacts and it won't break Xen's CI ?

Yes, they shouldn't be specific to alpine runtime, and I'm pretty sure
we already mix Alpine and Debian here without issues.
