I think this problem largely goes away if there was a way to indicate
that a submission should _not_ go to buildbot automatically. I'm not
sure how the gerrit/buildbot integration is done, but would it be
difficult to have another pseudo-branch, for example like
'refs/for/master-nobuild'? Or use a topic like refs/for/master/nobuild?

That would make the problem go away, since someone can then force the
build for a specific platform via the buildbot web interface.
