Build results:
	total: 155 pass: 155 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
	total: 460 pass: 459 fail: 1
Failed tests:
	sh:rts7751r2dplus_defconfig:ata:net,virtio-net:rootfs

udhcpc fails to get an IP address over virtio-net. I reported the same
problem against mainline. This is a spurious problem; the test succeeds
in roughly every other test. It is unknown at this time if the problem
is the patch introducing the problem (commit 0f6925b3e8da ("virtio_net:
Do not pull payload in skb->head")), the sh4 kernel code, qemu, or the
sh4 compiler (though I tried several compiler versions).

I see that this patch is now in pretty much all kernels, so I may report
this on and off until the underlying problem has been found and fixed.
Until then, I guess we'll have to live with it.
