Bash-script with l4re-App

To run the Bash script natively on L4Re you will require a console as 
well as a port of the Bash itself.

I think the easiest way would be to transform the test script into a Lua 
init script. Then you can run the different tests sequentially like this:

t1 = L4.default_ldr:startv(... test 1 setup...);
t1:wait()

t2 = L4.default_ldr:startv(... test 2 setup ...);
t2:wait()

-> the wait() calls in between make sure that each setup is run only 
after the previous one terminated.
