I'm under the impression that your autoboot patch will only boot from
the first FAT partition, whereas LAVA wants to boot a different FAT
partition depending on the kernel to be booted (master or test).

And my UUID zero patch won't fix the problem either.

I don't believe that's possible, there is only 1 configuration for the
default boot entry. The code could be expanded to add multiple
configurations, but that's time consuming work that needs to be
resourced.
