In order to make sure new commits won't introduce a regression on ARM,
we need to run some tests before accepting the patch.
If those tests are not run, some daily tests could catch the recent
regressions.
The most basic test is the compilation, then there are some unit tests
and DTS.

Are you OK to start with a basic daily compilation test? It can be achieved
with a simple crontab job.
If you or someone else have some time and a machine to do more, it would
be great. I'm sure the DPDK/ARM will gain enough interest to attract some
volunteers for more automatic tests.
