Rebuild kernel, install it, reboot, and check if we're running the correct
kernel. Tailored specificaly for binutils buildroot testing process.

Using MACHINE_SET__STRONG host-filter for this test, by setting the "hardware"
section in TCMS properly. That has several effects:
- kernel rebuild is very resoruce-intensive task, and having more powerful
boxes for it is simply good,
- this task will get its own boxes, not clobbered by additional kernel packages
that are usually installed by other tasks in the same run. E.g.kernel-debuginfo,
when installed, will conflict with freshly build kernel packages. This should
workaround such situations,
- this tasks reboots its boxes - should such reboot break something, don't ruin
the whole run by it, right?
