    Hrm... how impossible/practical would it be to have
    multiple VMs in the same source tree and select one at
    menuconfig time ? It would probably add up to a lot
    more testing done on all the non-linus-kernel VMs, but
    I have a hunch that the VM is probably something that's
    a pretty pervasive patch; could it be localized down to just
    an option in menuconfig ?
