I've got the general idea and looked through the code of
regression/src/regression.py.
But a lot of questions arise about how this idea shall be implemented.

I've got an ssh access to ARM test device and will have a common
storage for ARM and x86.
Instead of rewriting runner, is there some possibility to add `ssh
host_at_login /mnt/path_to_common_storage/` to the beginning of all test
running commands? Will that work?
