How about filling out the test suite to do it for you?  That would be really, 
really cool.

Well, ideally what we need is a regression test suite.  We have bits of one, 
but it needs a _lot_ more fleshing out.

Unfortunately, the test suite tends to get bumped to lower priority when other 
things need to be done, even though long-term a better test suite saves a lot 
of work.

With the mount tests I put some infrastructure in place for tests that need to 
run as root.  Still not happy with it, though...

Ah.

Did I mention that qemu is fun?  Back when I had more time I was trying to get 
the Firmware Linux build to cross-compile.  Alas, I haven't had time to even 
look at it since...  (Rummages...)  August 12th.
