This interim release includes a small set of fixes aimed at the LKFT
instance and HiKey support using LXC.
If your instance uses the pre_os_command support for fastboot with LXC
(not just pre_power_command), then note that this support now needs to
be called from within the LXC protocol.
See https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/885/definition#defline77
for an example.
Changes:

V2 healthcheck changes
======================
https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2017-March/000027.html
This support has now been delivered in 2017.4 using the lava-server
manage migrate-health-checks command. If used, the --clean option will
remove the old definition from the database for the device-type.
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/healthchecks.html#inde…
There is also a new migration status page to help admins track which
devices still need to be migrated to V2.
Branding message
================
The branding support now includes a message which can be added to the
home page for the instance. For example, a short message to describe
the main purpose of that instance.
Reminder about the LAVA repositories
====================================
Until Debian Stretch has been released and the new testing suite
(called buster) is open for new uploads, new production releases of
LAVA will only be available from the
images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo repository.
See https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava…
