Title:
  report and record the actual booted kernel with test results

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As we often have 2 or more kernels installed when testing the package
  list is not sufficient to tell us which kernel we intended to run.
  Nor indeed does having the intended kernel installed tell us we
  actually running it after the reboot.  It would be nice to:

  1) report the kernel version uname -rv style as the first action
  following a reboot, allowing us to confirm the actual version booted
  each time.

  2) perhaps report the kernel version and other information in the
  results.tar, say in a sysinfo.yaml.

  If we chose a .yaml for this info we could expand it later to include
  filesystem info for example.
