The quick answer is:

 $ git push git@gitlab.com:qemu-project/qemu.git my-branch:staging

The longer explanation is that these jobs are limited to a "staging"
branch, so all you'd have to do is to push something to a branch
called "staging".  If that branch happens to be from the
"gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu" repo, than the runners setup there
would be used.  The documentation an ansible playbooks are supposed
to help with this setup.

Once that push happens, you could use:

 $ contrib/ci/scripts/gitlab-pipeline-status --verbose --wait

Before doing something like:

 $ git push git@gitlab.com:qemu-project/qemu.git my-branch:master

Let me know if that makes sense.
