Sure. Just enabled that. Actually it's also available for qemu-kvm.git but 
never really got used.

Who should get access to this? I wouldn't make it available for anonymous, 
since someone could checkin an "evil"-patch for a makefile, which includes "rm 
-rf /this/and/that" and vanish the buildslave. 

I'm fine giving (personal) user accounts away for people who just ask for it. 
Or do you want to make this only available for a small (trusted) group?


Try-Build would get triggerd with the buildbot command (on developers 
workstation) like this:

$ cd kvm.git
... do some changes ...
$ buildbot try --vc git -c pb -m buildbot.b1-systems.de:8033 -b s390 \
  -u $USER --passwd=$PASSWORD

Ok. I see - was just wondering because it was set in your powerpc 
configurations but not for others.

done.

On the next kvm.git push the buildbot should trigger a build test for 
branches: master and next.
