Now, will all these talks about virtualization, I wonder if it will be

test system on my disk. As long as I don't have to reboot.

A large portion of kernel issues are found in the hardware support, which is difficult to test in a virtualized environment.

However, something like this could ensure that the APIs handle random garbage, that POSIX works properly, etc...
