Yes, I agree! We need a single place in the chapter with all the Gitlab
CI details. Like the test-pkg integration, testing of defconfigs,
testing of runtime tests, etc.

I'll mark this patch as Changes Requested, because we don't want just a
section/chapter specifically for the qemu defconfig testing in Gitlab
CI, but a broader section;

Please note that Gitlab CI testing of runtime tests is already
documented in the manual, so it will have to be refactored.

Best regards,

Thomas
