[PATCH 0/2] image specific configuration with oeqa runtime tests

[Mikko Rapeli <mikko.rapeli@linaro.org>]

Many runtime tests would need customization for different
machines and images. Currently some tests like parselogs.py are hard
coding machine specific exceptions into the test itself. I think these
machine specific exceptions fit better as image specific ones, since a
single machine config can generate multiple images which behave
differently. Thus create a "testimage_data.json" file format which image
recipes can deploy. This is then used by tests like parselogs.py to find
the image specific exception list.

Same approach would fit other runtime tests too. For example systemd
tests could include a test case which checks that an image specific list of
services are running.

I don't know how this data storage would be used with SDK or selftests,
but maybe it could work there too with some small tweaks.

  oeqa: add utils/data.py with get_data() function
  oeqa parselogs.py: use get_data() to fetch image specific error list
