Thanks, with everyone's feedback I got it working with ktest.

I added the following to my ktest snowball.conf:

OUTPUT_BOOT := ${OUTPUT_DIR}/arch/arm/boot

PRE_BUILD = ${MAKE_CMD} O=${OUTPUT_DIR} dtbs
POST_BUILD = cat ${OUTPUT_BOOT}/zImage ${OUTPUT_BOOT}/dts/ste-snowball.dtb > ${OUTPUT_BOOT}/zImage.snowball; mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -d ${OUTPUT_BOOT}/zImage.snowball ${OUTPUT_BOOT}/uImage.snowball

and walla!

root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~# uname -r
3.16.0-rc4-test-00042-g4f440cd

Thanks everyone!
