CI infrastructure for Windows PV drivers

["Tu Dinh" <ngoc-tu.dinh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently interested in preparing a CI infrastructure for the 
Windows PV drivers.

While I don't think there's currently interest in official signed 
drivers from the Xen Project, a CI infrastructure will still be useful 
for automated tests. In particular, I'm looking at the following:

- Automated testsigned builds;
- CodeQL checks;
- Rudimentary automated tests for driver features, under Driver Verifier.

Here are the needed resources:
- Build server running some flavor of Windows;
- Build tools: Visual Studio (Community?), WDK, etc.
- Several test VMs running various supported OSes on Xen (client, 
server, etc.)
     - These VMs are preferably snapshot-capable to ease testing.

I can volunteer to prepare the build scripts and tests. Cody pointed out 
to me during the last community call that we can get professional 
support to keep the build and test servers up to date and secure.

I'd appreciate your input on this matter.

Best regards,
