There's probably some value in making a virtual machine of some sort that
will run Linux. Imagine an arch/virtual that provided an emulated MMU, a
virtual disk driver, a console to stdio/curses interface, and a way of
tunnelling real block and character devices into the virtual domain.
Networking can even be made available - a virtual network device could
pass raw packets to the real driver through existing user interfaces.

Now you can hack the kernel in user mode, with a full debugger, etc.,
without having to reboot, anywhere you can run GCC.
