CLs are up, sequence goes:

Land https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/431178/
Restart chromeos waterfall
Verify kevin-paladin is green with HWTests at least twice in a row.
Land https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/431179/
Land https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/431180/
Restart chromeos waterfall
Land https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/431181/
Restart chromeos waterfall

pprabhu@ is primary deputy this week, so he owns any necessary
coordination.

From the perspective of the sequencing, there's one other step,
which is someone (the deputy) has to allocate enough DUTs for
the CQ pool.  That will be necessary to get the paladin green.

Please land the experimental CL and assign the bug to me. We can't mark it important in one waterfall restart anyway. I'll get the DUTs, wait for it to go green (or red for its own reasons) and then hand this back to you.

This CL landed on the wrong bug:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/431178/

Let's also land https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/431180/ before the first (of two) restarts.

If we do land that, it means there will be a period where we lack even build coverage for gru derivatives.

If we are ok with that SGTM.

oh, yeah. Let's not do that.
We'll do three restarts then..

Filed crbug.com/684857 for restart tonight.

Kevin paladin is looking green, we just need to allocate the DUTs it seems?

https://uberchromegw.corp.google.com/i/chromeos/builders/kevin-paladin

According to https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/chromeos/for-team-members/infrastructure/chromeos-admin/creating-pools, since we do not have another board for this platform to share the HWTest load, the cq pool requires 24 DUTs.


The suites pool had 30 DUTs, so I've transferred 24 to cq. (leaving the bare minimum 6 for suites).

Final allocation is:
pprabhu@pprabhu:~/chromiumos/src/third_party/autotest/files$ atest host list -b board:kevin | contrib/count_labels -p
      1 av-flexible
      6 bvt
      1 chameleon
      2 chameleon_hdmi
     24 cq
      1 crosperf
     11 cts
      1 groamer
      1 performance
      1 stress3
      6 suites
      1 usb_peripherals
      2 wificasey_8997
      1 wificell
      1 wifichaos


BTW, there is only one working DUT in pool:suites right now (5 are broken and will be fixed by eng-syslab-cros in their routine rotation)
I'm going to turn on HWTest on the CQ to see how this goes.

In the meantime, we should try to:
- Get more DUTs for suites pool, or
- Find another board on this platform to share the HWTest load with (this is the preffered method).

SGTM, thanks!

There should eventually be more systems in there on this platform, but I am not sure of the timelines.

Once this goes green we can make this one important and start turning down gru.
