Hi,

While I was in-between kernel builds last week I attempted to improve
the Travis build a little. Alexander Graf pointed out we were missing
a number of the linux-user targets. To avoid exploding the matrix too
much I've grouped builds together where they hopefully benefit from
sharing some objtect files. The biggest win however was using a
tarball to pre-seed the sub-module checkouts. I'm not sure if this is
because hammering our git server slows down or just because it's a lot
of data but it was adding up to around half the execution time of the
build.

Finally I removed "make check" from every build. It still gets run
once in the matrix but this means the current instability will bite
less often.

I failed in the task of adding mingw builds because it's hard on the
Travis Ubuntu hosts to install the headers/libs for a cross compile.
If someone can come up with a nice solid script that hand pulls in
these dependancies then we can add a call to that for the mingw
builds. Any volenteers?

If there are no objections/negative reviews I'll push these at the
Trivial tree later this week. Or is it time we create a specific
testing tree for these particular type of patches?

Alex Bennée (4):
  .travis.yml: add more linux-user to the build matrix
  .travis.yml: make the make slightly more parallel
  .travis.yml: pre-seed sub-modules for speed
  .travis.yml: remove "make check" from main matrix
