We should only allow --initrd for kvm-xfstests, or add support for
uploading the initrd to gce-xfstests, and then adding support to it to
the gce-kexec script.

We can just allow it for kvm-xfstests first, and then only later add
support to gce-xfstests, if you don't have time to work to get
gce-xfstests support for --initrd working.

No problem, but it looks like my knowledge about GCE is too low at the
moment. BTW are there are any way to make a bullet prof method to stop
gce instance after predefined timout? Your systemctl timeout script
does not always work. In my case it stuck somewhere inside FS and
timeout.service can not do it's job. Probably we can do it via
kernel watchdog or external watcher ala Jenkins.
