At least the current crop of Aarch64 HW can support running 32 bit EL0
code. Before we can build and test we need a minimal set of packages
installed. We can't use "apt build-dep" because it currently gets
confused trying to keep two sets of build-deps installed at once.
Instead we install a minimal set of libraries that will allow us to
continue.

This introduces three different parts of a job designed to run
on a custom runner managed by Red Hat. The goals include:
a) propose a model for other organizations that want to onboard
their own runners, with their specific platforms, build
configuration and tests.
b) bring awareness to the differences between upstream QEMU and the
version available under CentOS Stream, which is "A preview of
upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor and major releases".
c) because of b), it should be easier to identify and reduce the gap
between Red Hat's downstream and upstream QEMU.
The components of this custom job are:
I) OS build environment setup code:
- additions to the existing "build-environment.yml" playbook
that can be used to set up CentOS/EL 8 systems.
- a CentOS Stream 8 specific "build-environment.yml" playbook
that adds to the generic one.
II) QEMU build configuration: a script that will produce binaries with
features as similar as possible to the ones built and packaged on
CentOS stream 8.
III) Scripts that define the minimum amount of testing that the
binaries built with the given configuration (point II) under the
given OS build environment (point I) should be subjected to.
IV) Job definition: GitLab CI jobs that will dispatch the build/test
jobs (see points #II and #III) to the machine specifically
configured according to #I.

To run basic jobs on custom runners, the environment needs to be
properly set up. The most common requirement is having the right
packages installed.
The playbook introduced here covers the QEMU's project s390x and
aarch64 machines. At the time this is being proposed, those machines
have already had this playbook applied to them.
