What about the opposite use-case? Is there a way to automatically run the kernel you are working on as a developer in a VM to run the KUnit tests easily without rebooting your development system all the time? Assuming you are working on some feature that doesn't require a specific bit of hardware of course or where the hardware could be exposed to the VM.

It's same to just run the code under developing + KUnit in a VM. I'm not sure your key point here, do it automatically ?

That is already supported by KUnit. Take a look at tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py.

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py is great, I think it is really under appreciated!
