Turns out that the final patch breaks "make check-acceptance".
All the orangepi boot tests timeout:

 (15/58) 
tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py:BootLinuxConsole.test_arm_orangepi:
INTERRUPTED: Test interrupted by SIGTERM\nRunner error occurred:

So I'm going to drop that one; we need to work out what's
going wrong with the orangepi-pc machine.
