 We don't have a good way to virtualize builds since switching to 2.6.24+,
 since qemu/kvm/etc don't emulate 3dnow and the kernel refuses to boot on
 them.  Choices:

  * get a separate kernel build for ext3
  * remove the kernel limitation that refuses to boot without 3dnow?

 The former seems more likely.  Michael also suggests having a tinderbox
 test for each new build detecting whether it boots under qemu, which I'd
 be happy to start doing once it's working again.
