I think what we need is a good regression test payload kernel. This is what
I"ve done on ports to powerpc and riscv. You have a simple priveleged mode
bundle of code that exercises known failure cases.

I've found plan 9  (now harvey) to be an easy code base for this, but a
smaller, lighter kernel would probably be even better.
