Something else to consider here: if you build disposable testing that 
requires using virtual machines, your testing is effectively limited to 
x86, at least for the near future. Apparently KVM for ARMv7 and ARMv8 is 
in the kernel now, and it can even be used with OpenStack [1], but I'm 
guessing that's not a well supported configuration. KVM for Power seems 
to be underway but not in the kernel yet.

Disposable testing on physical machines (with the option to offload work 
to OpenStack instances when possible) is what Beaker is built for.
