[ useful stuff snipped ]

A little context: Since Bruce has announced he is stepping away from
his NFSD maintainer role, I'd like to help give him a breather with
his testing responsibilities too. We've been talking about shifting
some of this testing to a public CI infrastructure like kernelci.org.

And in the short term, obviously I want to ensure that NFSD pull
requests are adequately exercised...

It would be nice to have a facility that automatically grabbed new
commits pushed to our for-next branches and ran tests on a variety
of platforms, much like GitHub Actions does. The kernelci.org
infrastructure is intriguing to me, though their usual case is
booting up a single guest to run a series of tests. In our community,
there usually needs to be a client host and a separate server host.=20
