(kvm autotest is slow, above is quick) - will hit some point where full functionality is needed - have a mini linux to do this (lags where driver updates are part of test)Depending on what we want to include in such tests, we might want to have tests with a badly behaving kernel, which Linux hopefully isn't.
Yeah, that's a big advantage of kvm-unit-test is that you can't really hack the upstream version of virtio-balloon to do evil things.
