Right.

It will do what you tell it. It will test a single board, a  list  of
boards,  a  complete architecture, or a list of architectures, or any
combination of these.

No. If your patch adds or changes an ARM board  and  modifies  global
ARM  specific files you are requested to build at least for the whole
ARM architecture; if you modify global files  you  are  requested  to
test all architectures.

I am aware that this is a theoretical request, as probably nobody has
allthe required toolchains installed to test *all* systems.

But please test-build as many as possbible.
