Yep, we explicitly don't care about Xenial. Even if we did care about
Xenial, we could put such a job on GitLab CI instead.

IIUC, the main unique feature wrt Travis vs GitLab are potential for
non-x86 hardware testing, and functional use of KVM. So if the job
isn't using one of the unique Travis features, we should cull it
from Travis and GitLab if the job is still appicable.
