My simple tests are running now thanks to the help of the nice people 
from the #linaro-lava chat.

1) Crazy me decided to use upstream u-boot 2017.05 instead of running 
some ancient version from 2014;)

1.1) which happens to have a different AUTOBOOT_PROMPT than the one Lava 
expects "Press SPACE to abort autoboot in %d seconds\n" instead of "Hit 
any key to stop autoboot" so (since) I would like to be able to stay as 
close as possible to upstream LAVA 2017.06 I patched u-boot[1]. Note 
that this could be fixed with LAVA as well - interrupt_prompt: {{ 
interrupt_prompt|default('Hit any key to stop autoboot') }}

1.2) also the SYS_PROMPT of upstream u-boot is different than the one 
expected by LAVA and again I made a u-boot patch[2]. Note that this 
could be fixed with LAVA as well - {% set bootloader_prompt = 
bootloader_prompt|default('U-Boot') %}

2) After some searching it turned out that LAVA set some funny variables 
in u-boot which made my kernel crash. (Crazy me decided to use a 4.9.x 
uImage without baked in address).

Adding this:
{% set base_high_limits = false %}
to my bbb03.jinja2 file fixed it.

... obviously ;)

Regards,

Robert
