Issue to note in x86_64 (aws):
  libhugetlbfs - 1 failed (brk_near_huge, bug 1653597), Killed by signal 1, bad config 3 on t2.small, passed on the rest
  ubuntu_kernel_selftests - cpu_hotplug (bug 1812149) on t2.small, psock_fanout on r3.large, c4.large
  ubuntu_ltp_syscalls - inotify07 (bug 1774387) inotify08 (bug 1775784) fanotify07/fanotify08 test timeouted (bug 1775165) fanotify09 (bug 1775153) fanotify10 (bug 1802454) sync_file_range02 (bug 1819116)
  ubuntu_lxc - failed on 3 instances, passed on the rest

Skipped / blacklisted:
 * ubuntu_ltp
 * ubuntu_quota_smoke_test
 * ubuntu_seccomp
 * ubuntu_sysdig_smoke_test
 * ubuntu_zram_smoke_test

Note: ubuntu_ltp_syscalls test must be reviewed on the Jenkins server, the hang issue (bug 1777779) will prevent it from copy the test report
